I'm pretty sure people in SV are living in a their own world that has little to do with the broad economic reality in the US. I mean just look at exhibit A here https://xcancel.com/WallStreetApes/status/2050069324178788629

Each region would die on a hill denying this, but both Hollywood and SV are very similar. Both require a bit of delusion to sell a product (movie, SaaS, etc) to a small group of investors before anything can exist, investors who try to numerically diversify their portfolios, a stream of bright-eyed fresh-faced ~~fodder~~ people coming to town with hopes and dreams of making it big^[Some actually do make it while most don't. Those that do LinkedIn-spire more fresh-faced talent into the meat grinder], and finally all of it is run by an army of burnt-out underpaid workers both in and out of The Industry.
