Stating it in patronizing fact-checker tone does not make it true. The tech nerds started it (they love cheap labor pools). Then the politicians joined their masters’ bandwagon. It was a PR blitz. Who has the money for those? Dorseys, Grahams, & Zuckerbergs, or petty-millionaire mayors & congressmen? Politicians are just the house slaves—servants of money.

"Tech nerds" like Dorsey and Zuckerberg have almost nothing in common (on a day-to-day basis, with how they live their lives, their material incentives, etc.) with "tech nerds" like "Intel Employee #783,529". Those are not a single class of people, and it was predominantly the first group that pushed this sort of rhetoric, not the latter.

   24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

   25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

You whine about a "patronizing fact-checker tone", yet when someone points out a real difference between groups, you flee and sling Bible verses?

Forget these new taxes on Americans who buy Canadian hardwood, we can just supply logs from your eyes.

It's common sense. That is why it has endured. You people are like mob hitmen standing in moral judgment of your Godfathers. Without your muscle, your Godfather is just an old guy with pasta and a cigar. The "difference" is something you hallucinate so you can feel good about yourselves.

   how much more shall they call them of his household?
