I will focus on one paragraph of Marc Andreesen's screed (described as "Tech Twitter's favorite thing to talk about. All. Weekend. Long."): "The left starts out with a stronger bias toward the public sector in many of these areas. To which I say, prove the superior model! Demonstrate that the public sector can build better hospitals, better schools, better transportation, better cities, better housing." I recommend Andreesen look to the north to Canada where public education produces consistently better results, public health care the same, and where peaceful, progressive and modern cities should serve to inspire.
