It has become clear to me over the past decade that I was fooled into thinking that techno-centric liberalism was going to liberate the world via logic and efficiency, when truly it is a facade build by those who want to be the next Rockefellers, Murdochs and Kochs.

What is the Silicon Valley solution to parking problems? Let’s make an app for that!
