    For an industry obsessed with risk models, betting everything on Trump’s popularity was quite a choice. Especially while telling ordinary people to accept higher power bills and endless data centers. Turns out the electorate wasn’t as easy to disrupt as the CEOs hoped.

      They’re venture capitalists they’re obsessed with risk in the sense they believe big risk = big reward and are vain enough to believe they can force several hundred million people to vote against their best interests with some poorly done smoke and mirrors. They forgot most VC ventures are failures because they’re too far up their own asses to see reality anymore
