Tech leadership is going to sing loud about taxes and liberalisation of VC friendly economics and environment, but the reality is whatever Silicon Valley has, you can't bottle it.<p>Every attempt in Europe, Asia to replicate it has failed.<p>Vance should be careful he doesn't destroy the thing he loves. I don't often believe my own bullshit, but I do believe Jobs, Musk, Andreesen-Horowitz, Zuck do <i>NOT</i> define what made Silicon Valley work. They're the robber barons of our age, not the actual innovators. (Jobs maybe I say that unfairly)
> Vice presidents have a history of being shunted to the background, and there’s every chance that Trump will do that to his 39-year-old running mate.<p>The deciding factor will be how much Vance is willing to act as an unequivocal Trump cheerleader/sockpuppet on TV. Mike Pence wasn't interested in doing that.
