Why is the American tech culture so comically evil.

I cant imagine any of the places I've worked at thinking this was an acceptable idea let alone a good idea.

Maybe im just out of touch.

Nicotine itself seems to be remarkably benign. Smoking is bad, snuff is bad.

A lot of politicians have a doctoral degree. It doesn't help.

The love of money is the root of all evil. The tech industry is obsessed with tapping and creating new value flows to intermediate. It should be fairly obvious.
