I've been in the Valley since 1999. I am so sick of the group think in covering it. We can be morally outraged *all the time* whether the market is up or down. We can also look at business fundamentals. We can be intellectually honest about which we are critiquing and consistent.

also tech is the most high growth sector of the economy. so women and minorities disproportionately miss out on wealth generation
Sexual harassment is in no way unique to tech. But since tech views itself as a benevolent meritocracy, its failings are more pronounced.
