Why Conservatives Might Be Left Out of the Next Wave of Tech

pathetic, dillusional fantasy of the noble savage. Try taking a group of homeless to a hotel and party with them...tell me how that works out.
Ha! If anything, the lessening need to be physically co-located with your peers will drive a lot of this work out of the liberal-infested urban areas.
Maybe it’s because conservatives loath living in a cesspool of Leftist moral filth. Look at the decay in America’s loser cities, living off the taxes extorted by the federal government from better places to live.
Another reason conservatives avoid cities is that they will be destroyed, as cities have been throughout history. Blow up power plants, bridges and major highways, and the cities are finished. Modern cities are overly reliant on technology for such basics as drinking water and so are more vulnerable than ever.,
Suburbs are what liberals mock - until they grow up and move there.
Curious what you saw .. because I saw something after only a few minutes into the first episode; was this the latest attack against the computer companies in America ..??
Couldn’t even get through the entire first show .. decided I didn’t want to watch it.
The other supposedly “successful” series has been an attack upon our CONGRESS. While the current Congress leaves a lot to be desired, I believe the main character is the “Speaker of the House” .. which I suspect is a direct attack against Boehner.
Don’t watch that either.
The next tech wave will be “caught” by people who are where they want to be, not where they have to be. Might be a city, might not.
Who would want to live in a city, especially a large one, when the economy falls? There would be no way to escape then, and the ravaging of anybody and everybody’s property by thugs and hoodlums would be terrifying. I lived in NYC for 6 years. It was a great time to be there, and I was young and going to school. No place to raise a family, and the day-to-day street mischief was enough to daily remind me that it was not a place to settle. Three times I forgot and carried a purse. All three times I was mugged. No, thanks!
With the price of food skyrocketing I guess the techies in the cities can always create themselves a hologram so they can see the food us hicks in the sticks are eating.
Just the opposite is true.
With the proliferation of broadband and telecommuting, people are going to be working, shopping and getting educated online, which means you don’t need the city. You can live anywhere, even the great north woods if you wanted to.
I have two jobs, both remote, doing most of my shopping online, and don’t have to leave the house unless I want to eat out.
I wasn’t raised in a city, and have no desire to live in one again-I’m not an ant or a bee. Satellite internet isn’t the ultimate, but it works-I can get bids done, etc. Going Galt is the only future for me...
Yep I saw that too. I could not change the channel fast enough. I will not be watching any more of this trash.
