tech bros*, not tech people, there's a difference, please
tech bros .... modern day snake oil salesmen
in the 1910s it was a fast talking showmen on a soapbox saying he can cure galloping consumption with heroin
in the 1970s we saw them as fast talking car salesmen with checkered suits
in the 2020s they'll be identified as CEOs in t-shirts and jeans
Nah, snake oil salesman actually look dandy, tech bros are just ugly.

(In the US) If it wasn't for Halloween being the other holiday people make their whole personality, Christmas would've bled into 6 months by now. As it is, some people end Halloween straight into Christmas.
