💬 Over 2 trillion dollars wiped from the stock market yesterday, a direct result of the midterm results. Gary Marcus has put this as succinctly as I think it can be put:
It looks like the thing that help up the market was the idea that the tech companies could do whatever they liked, no matter how dangerous or immoral, without consequences. The(new!) thought that companies might actually be held accountable for waht they have done has complete spooked the market.
We’d be wise to really consider what this means for our culture.
