Since the House is in recess why don't Democrats interview Jack Smith on their own, in public and televise it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as moderator?

Over the last year or so I've seen a disturbing tendency in tech/startup/VC worlds to buy into the neoreactionary view that for startups to be successful they need to get on board the Trump train. Yes, there are the big name folks who everyone knows about and who didn't really surprise anyone—Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, Elon Musk (pre-fallout)—but the more troubling trend has been watching younger entrepreneurs and VCs listen to their podcasts, read their posts and books, and slowly nod along to the idea that democracy is holding back innovation.

Students, pay attention!!! Your “search” is steering you WRONG!
Nothing to see here, just autocorrect suggesting the word "wrong" to autocomplete "Obviously scientists are"....
I tried dozens of occupations. Lawyers, bankers, politicians, farmers, accountants, you name it.
Only "scientists" and "epidemiologists" get "wrong" as a suggested auto-completion.
