15. The tech industrial complex is headquartered in California.

I fear Newsom is as beholden to them as many other California and national pols are. It makes my stomach sink, just as Schiff’s June abandonment of Biden did, just as my Senator Heinrich’s did. If the wealthy tech bros want something, they get it. I wonder if they aren’t pulling strings. No matter, I now consider Newsom untrustworthy.

America’s bought and sold.
