This is not to say that there shouldn’t be freedom of expression when it does happen, or that resistance is futile, but just we should know going in that it’s not going to be one big happy party, at least not for very long.

And along with that, they will present a wishlist of items and things that the President wanted but didn’t have time for. And it will be anything that they haven’t gotten so far. At the bare minimum the seizure and jailing of anyone caught celebrating when it does happen. So be careful when it does.

And then when the VP takes over, he’s going to embrace the role of the bad guy. I am almost certain that they will say that the Pres was the nice one, that he was holding back, that he loved everyone so much that he allowed people to treat him not nicely. And that it won’t be that way anymore.

We’ve already seen what happens when someone they like goes down. They take away livelihoods, even arrests. That was under the pretext of preventing the endorsement of political violence, but don’t be so naive that they won’t create any justification that fits the need.

If you've ever wondered why tech bros keep trying to cram things down your throat that nobody wants, nobody asked for, could never turn a profit and never actually work, frankly -- this is why.

A lot of people are making a lot of money from "failure". If they weren't, they wouldn't keep doing it.

This management fee scam is also why founders with great ideas and great execution in realistic addressable markets don't get funded.

VC's make more money from unrealistic sci-fi plans that are doomed to fail over a 10 year window

It just needs to be a plausible enough story to build a fund on.

How do VC's make money from failed bullshit? Fee structure. Say you're a VC with a 20% carry if the venture succeeds.

You ALSO have a guaranteed management fee of 2% of AUM per year. So you create a $1B "Deep Tech" fund, that's $20M a year. These sci-fi projects take 10 years to fail. That's $200M.
