Your "argument" wasn't that good to begin with, since you don't say why political links to the US government would be a good thing nor why she in particular would be a good choice for making/maintaining those links.


I suppose the OP thought, like I do too, that it is obvious what positive effects come from fraternal relations with politicians.

Have you read the newspapers lately from ANY part of the world? Does it still need to be explained why, in general, being cosy with the politicos is usually a good thing?


Well I didn't have long to type it so sorry if it wasn't great, but I would say that with regards to principles like Net Neutrality your idea that the tech industry doesn't need better political links to the US government is not well-grounded.

I couldn't possibly speculate on who the best people to make or maintain political links are, but my speculation is that the more connected to government you are the more you will be able to affect policies affecting the tech industry.


"with regards to principles like Net Neutrality your idea that the tech industry doesn't need better political links to the US government is not well-grounded."

I said no such thing. Seems like you're the confused one now.
