Most Cities Would Welcome a Tech Billionaire, But Peter Thiel? (bloomberg.com)
Sarah McBride, writing for Bloomberg: Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is moving to Los Angeles from San Francisco, adding another dose of legitimacy to a burgeoning startup scene in Southern California -- along with some controversy. The co-founder of PayPal and an early investor in Facebook, Thiel runs Founders Fund, one of the more-respected venture capital firms in Silicon Valley. He comes with a little baggage, though, including his staunch support for President Donald Trump, his secretive funding of the legal battle between Hulk Hogan and Gawker.com, and comments some people say have been derogatory toward women. "I'm not sure why Peter Thiel believes he'll receive a warmer reception on the L.A. tech scene than he's had in Silicon Valley," said Tracy DiNunzio, chief executive officer of Tradesy, a fashion-reselling company based in Santa Monica, California. "Our venture and startup ecosystem is fairly left-leaning."
Plus, in LA there are more teenage boys whose blood Thiel can drink.
You are welcome on my lawn.
That's cool - I would never hire a liberal progressive democrat and I freely discriminate against them as well all the time.
I usually find them to be less intelligent and they don't apply themselves well. Mostly because they spent their years absorbing nonsense left wing ideology instead of learning something practical. The leftie men are the worst - just simpering weak little males who do whatever they are told, and badly I might add.
Keep up the good work bro.
I'm sorry, Mr Thiel, you can't sue Slashdot because they ain't got shit.

Supporting Trump is not supporting the government, it is supporting a mentally unstable narcissist that cares for nothing but himself, and that reflects on Thiel, at least in the part of the community with brains.
