I wasn't aware of the huge skateboarding/surfing startup culture!
- coldtea 10y agoThere is -- just not on the unicorn level. But startups are not only those designed to be unicorns and be sold for $10 billion -- "lifestyle businesses" are also startups.
- overcast 10y agoIf it makes money, then it makes money. Let the market decide if it needs another one.
- coldtea 10y agoI don't believe that money is the ultimate justification for everything -- including running a business.
- overcast 10y agoActually that is the definition of a business. - the purchase and sale of goods in an attempt to make a profit.
- coldtea 10y ago>Actually that is the definition of a business. The definition of something is not its justification. There's a definition for murder too (including what is an effective murder, e.g. not getting caught, etc), doesn't mean it's ok to do it.
- overcast 10y agoI don't even know how to respond to someone comparing murder to running a business. So we'll end this discussion here.
- coldtea 10y agoProbably it's for the best, because I also don't know how to respond to someone feigning a moral outage because of a casual comparison meant to illustrate a point, and not to say that business = murder.
