To the editor: Thanks very a lot for publishing Roger McNamee’s op-ed article, “How Massive Tech’s predatory tradition fuels failures like Silicon Valley Financial institution.”
Amongst his many legitimate factors, McNamee emphasizes how the “tradition and enterprise practices” of the tech sector have “shifted the burden of hurt” to shoppers.
I’m a highschool English trainer, and plenty of of my very own college students have addictive and doubtlessly harmful relationships with their smartphones. I’m ceaselessly confiscating telephones, asking them to be put away, or a witness to silly conduct promoted by their apps.
Fortunately, I can say most college students are in a position to management themselves, however for the extra weak, smartphones are too simply misused and abused.
Thanks for furthering this necessary dialogue in regards to the energy of this dynamic trade. As I usually ask my college students: “Who’s in management — you or the telephone?” For a lot of, sadly, it’s the latter.

To the editor: Apparently the identical libertarian, supposedly self-made millionaire executives who decry college students for getting partial mortgage forgiveness, arguing that they knew what they had been doing once they signed the mortgage settlement, didn’t learn the signal on the Silicon Valley Financial institution’s door stating that deposits had been insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance coverage Corp. as much as $250,000.
