And, besides the dick in their hands part, what Graham didn't mention in his warm christmas tale of meritocracy, they also make deals to not competete against others on talent, to fix (i.e. ruin further) what is already an extremely dysfunctional market (when did you last ask your coworker what she made?).

What's even worse is that the whole issue of the wage suppression saga has been conveniently forgotten by the tech elites and media. The case is still ongoing after the judge threw out the settlement Google et all offered, but the last begrudging mention of this in the tech or mainstream media was in Aug.

Nothing at all since then.

How can Paul Graham sit there and not mention the anti-competitive and illegal collusion of the top tech employers while he tells us to vote against our own financial self-interest?

He wants us to vote even more money into his pockets, and vote to undermine our wages, and he doesn't even give the smallest mention to the fact that the most respectable and respected tech employers have been fucking us over for years!

So disingenuous, so pernicious.
