Thank you, Tux. I will take your advice and create new leftists. Should I tell them about Foss too, or should that wait?

How can somebody who can hack into any corporation, think Ayn Rand had anything clever to say?

Delusions of self-confidence in their skills due to having an in-demand job. Once supply meets demand and their wages fall to the norm, tech bros won't have that insane level of confidence in having "won" Capitalism.
