You can't be serious.

About what? NVIDIA starting a Political Action Comittee? Yeah I'm not sure why that's a problem.

I mean you can dislike PACs but it's pretty delusional to assume most people think they are categorically bad. Clearly there is an echo chamber here.

And to be clear, NVIDIA started a PAC, not a super pac.

PAC approval (by Public Affairs Council Pulse):

  - 2020: 55% overall (Dem 57%, Rep 61%)
  - 2021: 53% overall (Dem 58%, Rep 56%)
  - 2023: 51% overall

The problem is that it requires vast sums of money to influence politics.

That is the antithesis of how politics should function (people are the interest, not moneyed companies)

Silicon Valley, the new lobbying monster.

Certain general knowledge is assumed in adult conversations. Maybe not for sealions.
