    What’s the deal with tech bosses obviously lying lately? Just a legal thing? Or a it’s true if we say it long enough thing?

      When the president of the united states is held to zero accountability and no one seems to care. Why would these assholes?

        Oh they do care, just in the wrong way.

        In the business world “benchmarking” basically means “let’s copy what the successful people do, so that line go up”

        In their robotic, amoral view of the world, they see one of the most successful people on the planet (according to their definition of success) constantly spouting obvious lies and being surrounded by sycophants while getting elected twice and grifting billions and facing no punishments. Maybe if the tech CEOs get rich enough and their companies get important enough, they can join his club.

        Ohhh, and they must be how we get oligarchies!
