i had this conversation with a friend on why are tech companies the darlings of public opinion but guilty of such terrible things. look how Monsanto is the Devil Incorporated, while Apple has in US tax evaded cash more money than around 2 times Monsanto's market cap (Monsanato trades at a frothy 24 PE). Walmart is everything evil despite cant do no wrong Amazon does everything they (in a negative sense) do only many times greater.
Meanwhile Google has done terrible things including ripping off bandwidth providers, and not to mention they hold a monopoly on search. conspiracy theorists seemed ill concerned on one organization responsible for answering all their web queries. could go on about outsourcing of jobs, h1b visas, causing a recession, etc etc.
not that any of these companies are 'evil' or even 'wrong' in my eyes, but why do others treat tech companies with such endearment and throw so much hate at a handful of other companies?
we're thinking geography has a lot to do with it. Many influencers on the east and west coasts know a lot of people that work in these companies, and write very positive things about them. not completely altruistic, as they are also heavily invested in them.
