Tech execs, investors slam Trump

Roughly 150 tech executives and investors including Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Yelp CEO Jeremy Stoppelman and media mogul Barry Diller slammed Donald Trump today for campaigning on “anger, bigotry, fear of new ideas and new people” — an approach, they said, that would be a “disaster” for Silicon Valley.

In the open letter, published on The Huffington Post and Medium, the collection of industry leaders say Trump “traffics in ethnic and racial stereotypes” in his opposition to immigration reform. They knock the presumptive GOP nominee for his idea of “shutting down” the internet to address security threats. And they criticize Trump for failing to laying out much of a tech agenda, saying he “articulates few policies beyond erratic and contradictory pronouncements.”

“We have listened to Donald Trump over the past year and we have concluded: Trump would be a disaster for innovation,” they write. “His vision stands against the open exchange of ideas, free movement of people, and productive engagement with the outside world that is critical to our economy — and that provide the foundation for innovation and growth.”

I see. Lets ignore those who drive the economy and instead listen to and support the master of bankruptcy. Now that's a mighty conservative stance to take.

Actually, it's might progressive--Sandersesque, in fact. Probably get a thumbs up from Elizabeth Warren as well.
