Still in a thick fog of war after the most incredible display of US technology power in history, with the dramatic silencing of a sitting US president and the elimination of a platform competitor, the tech conversation switched gears for a night and focused on a narrow culture war issue: the San Francisco District Attorney entered a chat I was co-hosting to argue 1) crime was a not a problem in San Francisco and 2) San Francisco’s crime problem was not his fault. The real enemy, I learned, was hateful tech bros all along (me). A couple days later, Benioff tripled down on the meme that leaving San Francisco was an act of exploitation, a ridiculous argument I took apart back in December with a wire called “Extract or Die.” And elsewhere, in a sunny Bizarro World version of our reality where politicians are helpful and want their city to thrive, Miami’s Mayor Francis Suarez pitched his alternative to sclerotic, hateful local government, and finally crossed our most potent industry power.
