Tech is a circle jerk of white guys who don’t understand why anyone would do anything at all in life if there wasn’t a completely underserved outsized profit incentive bubble built in from the get go. https://twitter.com/micsolana/status/1233193714266165248 …

while i do love an accusation of whiteness from extremely fucking white ppl, you’re wrong here. thirty percent of entrepreneurs are immigrants, many of them people of color making better lives for themselves and their employees. please check your privilege and educate yourself.

The problem you have w the tax plan is that equity is taxed at vesting and not exercise. My point is many people in tech esp women and people of color get shafted by equity deals AND by lack of healthcare. Perhaps they’re voting for Bernie because it is the rational best choice.

you are living in a fantasy. no early stage employees want their equity taxed at vest, including POC who, yes, are intelligent enough to participate in this ecosystem (and do) without you TAXING them. PS it’s extremely frustrating when woke white ppl minimize the work of POC.

I get it that you want to pile on and have a gotcha moment with your friends here but my point is only that thousands of people in tech made the best rational choice in supporting Bernie. If you don’t understand why, you’re in a bubble. 1/2
