Commenters giving this post way too hard a time. Look at some of the other posts on this blog (the Unnecessariat piece from a few days ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11765581 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11765581 is them) This is not a Medium post about why Startup.ly failed and what they learned. This a person who is fundamentally different from the typical HN poster. They're very much conscious of a bifurcation of the economy in which there are "winners" and "losers." We would generally be called the winners and the author one of the losers. (I'm not insulting them, I think they would agree with that assessment). They're not in a situation where most people are doing great, but there are a few exceptions. Most things and people they know are deeply broken. The current system that lead to that bifurcation is the one we'd be betting our hopes for getting off fossil fuels on. It hasn't been all cupcakes are roses, so maybe don't bet everything on it.
