On a more serious note, I want the spirit behind this to be true, I think that like, there’s always been conflict between capital and labor, but it does feel like at some point, the incentives were such that like billionaire philanthropy favored initiatives that helped everyone - society and even regular joes. But Marc Andreesen talked directly about the breaking of the social contract(blaming the left/mainstream media, which is pathetic considering you clearly have the power and resources to break through the noise) and now all you have is a bunch of billionaires sitting around looking at AI thinking “sucks to be labor..”

But I think this has kind of been all of politics lately, is the politics of the negative. It seems like the tech oligarchs could put like a couple billion dollars into funding climate change and start a few universities or science museums and put out like subtle pro-tech propaganda that probably has a fair bit of truth to it! I don’t think that like reduced usage policies are the only way to solve say climate change. These could even be b-corps, they don’t even have to be non-profits they could still make money, and that optimistic, you could make the argument and have a positive view of tech was so prevalent in the 2000’s, now it’s cynical directly biasing the washington post, lobbying to Washington propaganda.

Why doesn’t Bryan Chesky start a renewable pre-fab housing b-corp. (apparently he did sign the giving pledge so credit where credit is due).

If NPR is liberal propaganda, the why not fund non-partisan institutions to compete with this American life and RadioLab.

But a pro-billionaire march? Is like the perfect example of everything people don’t like about the establishment right now.
