I truly hope that you're wrong, but I have a feeling you might be right. I drive a luxury V8 BMW and I play tennis, ride horses and of course I ride a road bike. I can feel the hatred coming at me from trade guys in their trucks and sweaty moms in their cars full of kids. They think I'm a rich elite and they believe I'm on the team that engineered their poverty.

At the same time, I see the crybaby snowflakes and all they can talk about is racism and white privilege, but they're completely unable to connect with the working poor, the swing voters who voted Obama and then Trump. Imagine if these two groups merged, made friends and formed a political movement.

I do hope that you're wrong, because I want an America that has a tech economy but also a full employment economy, where an unskilled worker can bring home a fair living wage. I want this without sacrificing the high living standards of the tech economy.
