I wish the people who hated "techie scum" made a stand against tech by not using our products, to begin with. It's very hypocritical to be running that campaign on the internet. Of course, it could be high nosed irony.

Interesting that techies and not real estate developers or zoning boards have become the scapegoats for high rents and housing prices.

Yeah, real activism vs. hard targets is hard so let's bash the nerds.

I'm sure it couldn't have anything to do with the dismissive and generally superior attitude already displayed in the comments here.
