Comparing what happened on Wall Street in 2008 to what is happening in Silicon Valley is just not even in the same realm. The scale, for one, is not even close. And do you have any evidence to backup what you're saying other than your own anecdote which is surprisingly lacking in details? You just sound generally disgruntled about a startup experience.
I am really not concerned for all of the startup employees that are making six figure salaries, putting them easily in the top 5% of earners in the world. These people have the freedom to do so much more than what most workers do. They are not victims.
Now, if we want to talk about how the work that Silicon Valley is doing will displace non-tech workers, then yes, that is a discussion that is worth talking about.
