Remind me again how much better 90% of what Silicon Valley has done has made my life or anyone else's better.
Interesting complaint to make on an internet forum.
These are people who use other people's money to make "apps" that no one wants to use, that generate no revenue, and that produce no returns for shareholders.
Sure, no one uses technology from silicon valley...
Find me a tech company that has actually had positive earnings per share over the past year. Find me a tech company that has paid a dime of earnings to their shareholders. Explain why anyone outside of the Bay Area should give a crap that you coded an app that lets people arrange for helicopters to take them to work because the icky, unwashed BART workers are on strike since your presence in the city has made living there unaffordable for them.
Apple is either number one or two in profits in the world.
