On: ‘Silicon Valley,’ Darker Than Ever, Captures the Bleak Mood of Tech

I can't understand if this is meant to be satirical or not

[DoreenMichele → Lucadg]

Why would it be satire?

I'm famously poor.

That reasoning seems to justify pretty much any business model even if it hurts more people than it helps with a salary.

Nah. It just admits that employees often feel like pawns in a system where there are no good answers, even if the founders believe in the mission.

It also affirms that adequate earned income is a healthy, positive thing.

We do this weird thing where feeding others as an act of charity is clearly a good thing, but somehow feeding ourselves is not.

I think there are problems with that idea.

I meant sarcastic not satirical sorry :)

It's all good. But I happen to be very serious about the importance of an earned income as a social good. I think we need more of that.

Cheers.
