POLITICS, VALLEY-STYLE

摘要

The united states is a patchwork quilt of red and blue states. But zoom in to Silicon Valley and you'll see those hues blend into shades that aren't found on our two-party color wheel. A technocrat who has never voted for a Democrat in his whole life might march in the annual Pride Parade. CEOs who are all about immigration (they need programmers like they need air) might lobby for low capital gains taxes (gotta make sure those stock options are a good investment). These Valley players are motivated by their own interests more than by party politics, and they're not afraid to gerrymander their philosophies into weird snaky shapes that protect their financial interests without (mostly) sacrificing personal ethics.
