Few protections, but high wages in the tech industry has gone a long way in keeping the US tech workforce fat and content.

Big media companies are made up of people. Even the best journalists are prone to making mistakes. Sensationalist stories should always be read at an arms length. And even some respectable news organisations hire viral copywriters to generate ad-views. Don’t read that shit.

But do read news from real journalistic publishers with a professional principal editor. Don’t fall into the deep end conpiracy snuff trap.
