Most of them don't have 'elite university training' Lots of them are drop-outs. Google started with a few servers in a college dorm.

I don't know how much you have heard the google guys speak, but they do support free markets.

They also drink the go-along-to-get-along kool-aid, like many here on FR do.

So they ain't my kind of conservative.

But they know where their money came from, and they turn and snap at government when it messes with their nest. Like many here on FR, that are ok with government bans on whatever, but proclaim they want freedom.

The Google guys are mostly from Stanford and University of Michigan (radically leftist universities). These are the guys who accepted locks and serious CCCP oversight from communist China in order to serve that country.

I love free markets, believe in them, think they are simply the best economic system for everyone. The Google guys only snap at gubmint when it affects them, they are not true free market guys, or they would not support the regime like they do.

There is a difference between James and Dagny Taggert in Ayn Rand's books. The Google guys are more like James, get the gubmint on your side, donate to the bad guys, and don't give a fig for what you are doing to the entire system.

Sorry, these guys are naive at best, brilliant at what they do, but ignorant of what their support is doing to the system.
