This is why we need more tech people to get into politics. And I'm not thinking billionaire ceos. I'm talking about devs, qa, pm, people that did actual work.
The problem is that politics has become a career. If you want to get elected to anything beyond a low-level local position, you need to put years of your life into it, and decades if you want a national political role with any clout. That essentially means that these tech people won't have time for a career in tech anymore. Maybe some would find that interesting or desirable, but I'd bet most would not.
