From Twitter: Distribution of Employee Political Donations at Big Tech Firms
2020-08-14
"But charger! These numbers may be skewed by the overwhelming proportion of contributions by top execs!"

All the more reason to distrust these firms. If their top execs skew left, then so shall the employees in any decision that affects non-lefty representation on their platforms, etc.

"But charger! As good little spergatarians with Free Market Princuhpullz, it is our solemn duty to run interference for technogarchs that hate our guts! Princapullz, darn it! Ooh, just got my check from Alphabet!"

#3  /\ The same Public Disclosure of Political Donations (see above) can be used in a totalitarian fashion. Welcome to our version of Soviet Russia or 1930's Germany where all of the promotions factor in your donations to the ruling party.

#2  How many of those contributions were Voluntary versus the office manager's 'pet employee' telling you that "It would be a great idea if you donated to the Boss' favorite charity [the DNC]..." ?

#1  Why shouldn't they buy off those playing the crowd that screams "soak the rich"? It's a game. They 'raise taxes' but write in loopholes galore so their donors pay but a only little bit more. The sheep don't grasp how the game is played. Wonder how all those congresscritters who stay around long enough are millionaires? /rhet question
