> “It saddens me immensely to say that with your recent comments, and failure to understand their impact, I now barely recognize the person I have so long admired.”

More:¹

> Conway wrote that in recent days, he had “expressed candidly” and repeatedly to Benioff that he was “shocked and disappointed” by his “willful ignorance and detachment from the impacts of the ICE immigration raids of families with NO criminal record, efforts to gerrymander elections, attacks on freedom of speech, and other unlawful policies.”

> “Your obsession with and constant annual threats to move Dreamforce to Las Vegas is ironic, since it is a fact that Las Vegas has a higher rate of violent crime than San Francisco,” Mr. Conway wrote. “San Francisco does not need a federal invasion because you don’t like paying for extra security for Dreamforce.”

Oligarchs dissing oligarchs, what else is new. It’s all about power at the end of the day, not power to the people but ego uber alles. How did so many corporate titans get radicalized? Is it that their money insulates them from the plight of everyday citizens?
