I think the big development in tech is simply that California became a dysfunctional one party Democratic state and ran itself into the ground.

Yes, woke and tech anti-trust on the Dem side are big issues, but literally not being able to buy a house and having to avoid homeless junkies in the street is radicalizing. And while COVID will eventually fade from memory the stark red/blue contrast on that burns bright right now.

You can see an attempt to address this with "abundance", but if California couldn't embrace abundance when elections were still competitive I think its going to have a really hard time breaking "the groups" when they have a total electoral lock.
