You know how in the debate, the moderators posed this, "what if tech company A" wants to come or leave or etc.

Am I the only one in NYC who doesn't want the big tech companies? If Facebook or Google were going to leave NYC, I would be all for it. All the big corporate tech bros make this place worse, not better- they enshittify everything they touch.

Small tech, yes, big tech- or fucking "AI company with too much money doing some dotcom-like stupid product" - no.

Also - one edit - Facebook being in the old K-Mart building, somehow makes sense - except K-Mart was better. Somehow saw Phillip Glass there many a time.

I used to go to Venice Beach and admire the semi-quaint and weird vibes the area employed. Since Big Tech moved right next door, I noticed a decreased in diversity and an increase of tech bros ruining the scene. It no longer has the old vibes I once knew, in addition to everything in the area increased in price due to their presence.

American's fascination with Oligarchs and celebrities is absurd.
