Donald Trump: a perfect representative for modern America & a so-called Sharing Economy

[Razer]

A disruptor-in-chief in a society where disruptors prosper.

> Republican lobbyist Bruce Mehlman, who has long represented technology
> companies, sees parallels between the cycle of disruption that’s
> churned through Silicon Valley and what’s now wreaking havoc on
> Washington.

> “The forces that set the stage for Donald Trump’s election are
> long-term, structural and global,” Mehlman told me yesterday. “Much
> like Uber, Trump perceived the opportunity to reach directly to the
> public to disrupt a dysfunctional marketplace that lacked innovation
> and failed to satisfy consumers. Also much like Uber, he flouted

> hard and, well, disruptive. It usually leaves observers feeling
> exhausted, uncertain and ultimately either angry or exhilarated.”

> In a new PowerPoint presentation for his clients, Mehlman notes that

> mattered far more to voters than whether they had the “right
> experience” or “good judgment.”

Ps. I just received an email at this address from a "Mark M"
<write2mark1 at gmail.com> requesting an invite for a riseup account,
because Riseup is no longer accepting applications due to mass abuse by
lying about the purpose for the account, which is supposed to be social
activism related.


Mark M claims he needs the account b/c:

> I need an invite code for getting a riseup account I am a bit coin and
> monero contributor

No. Mark. Just no.

You probably think creating another mythical currency is actually social
activism. You are deluding yourself.
