Can we entertain Ron Conway's constant hawking and lobbying with Mayor Ed Lee?
My opinion is that it's a bad thing. He's getting deeply in bed with government and virtually buying his seat in local government and I'm uncomfortable with that. We're doing just fine, thank you. (I don't appreciate that he often speaks for the broader tech community on matters of policy, either. We're a diverse lot.)
Not to mention, that music video that he paid for made an utter mockery of the local political process. Frankly, it's disgusting.
Any other opinions? I'd really like to have an educated debate on this.
