When Your Job Fills in for Your Faith, That’s a Problem

> Silicon Valley politicians I talked to lamented the political apathy of busy rank-and-file tech workers who live in a bubble. (The Musks and Thiels are a different story.) “They don’t get involved,” a public official told me. “They don’t vote. They don’t know their local representatives.”

It's terrible, they are just like everyone else. No one knows their local reps, local elections have terrible turnout, and are conducted in almost a total information blackout.

Workaholism is a problem, but not because it takes time away for going to church, but because it takes time away from staying with friends and families, and enjoying your hobbies and what you like to do. I didn't expect NYTimes to be a venue for proselitism. Religion is one of the cancers of society.
