@aral@mastodon.ar.al Modern big tech is rich kids who went to MIT reinventing the tollbooth two hundred times a month, being applauded by the slightly less rich kids in the tech press for their innovation and paying other rich kids who went to lawschool to find new ways to give money to a different set of rich people to buy laws that make their already in place tollbooths legal, and gifting them most of the road network in return for future donations.
