Do you mean the corruption?
Look at the West Coast business - California to Washington - to see the influence of liberals in business.

Lets see
  • They break many laws but get away with giving extravagant pensions to government workers who don't have to pay their fair share into them, thus putting the taxpayer on the hook, IN EXCHANGE FOR VOTES! Even the people in the DA's office benefit from huge pensions... one is a neighbor and she's very liberal... of course who else would give her that sort of pension compared to the meager crap well paid tech workers get when they leave from Social Security.
  • They fire older workers for this or that excuse then demand H1B visas to bring in YOUNG, CHEAP TO INSURE workers they can't seem to find or train.
  • Obamacare should have put EVERYONE in the same insurance pool... none of this crap where those healthy enough to work 32 hrs a week get low rates while the self employed have to pay the cost of insuring the unhealthy! (That is why they get rid of older workers too.... saves insuring them and their families with liberal kids who have to live at home since they can't find decent jobs. Probably saves $20K a year per worker over 50...)
  • They pay off the government to go after Microsoft so they can launch Google and do the same thing.
  • They talk a good story about DACA but never want a solution because it gives the smaller business a place to get older workers who are afraid to leave for better jobs because they need valid papers which is far better than training new high school kids every six months to do the simple jobs like when I was growing up.
  • They pay off government so they can build new companies in areas already in a housing crisis THEN they pay off the government so they can buy a $100K status symbol car and get tags to drive it in the HOV lanes AFTER lying to the voters who agreed to tax ourselves to build these roads to ease congestion, not lets some rich folks skip having to drive others in their cars.
  • How the hell did Al Gore get rich after losing the presidency and what did he do for Apple and Google to deserve so much stock?
  • Senator Lady Dianne Feinstein's husband makes billions building infrastructure and public works buildings.... started when she was mayor of SF.... now a powerful senator.
  • I won't even get into how pissed off I am for being told my energy use and eating beef is destroying the planet with global warming by any liberal with 6 kids... The easiest way to reduce "climate change" or even your footprint on the planet is to have one or fewer kids... but no, we give extra tax deductions for it! We ALL loved our corrupt tax deductions to have Texas and Florida folks subsidize NY, NJ, IL, and CA taxes.... so of course we're all pissed off that the new guy took them away.
I think MOST of the quality companies in the Silicon valley started with Libertarian roots...
then try shoving your head up your ass a little further ;)
Even with smile signs, there is no place for that here.
