> Silicon Valley politicians I talked to lamented the political apathy of busy rank-and-file tech workers who live in a bubble. (The Musks and Thiels are a different story.) “They don’t get involved,” a public official told me. “They don’t vote. They don’t know their local representatives.” It's terrible, they are just like everyone else. No one knows their local reps, local elections have terrible turnout, and are conducted in almost a total information blackout.
