This concern for the survival of a particular corporation is just as arbitrary as your questioning where they drew their arbitrary lines around DIY operations.

This concern for the survival of a particular corporation is just as arbitrary as your questioning where they drew their
arbitrary lines around DIY operations.
80% of the Fortune 500 list in the 1960s is gone. Survival is not guaranteed of any of company. So why get so worried about it?
You know why they do it that way? Because the people there decided to.
What's more self-parodying? People on here grousing about the issues of our society, only to lean into more capitalism and VC/startup life?
Or people deciding to bike their food "several miles" for their own reasons?
- opportune 9y agoI think there's a special hypocrisy involved in getting paid a six figure salary supported by some combination of venture capital and running an open market, and criticizing the system that pays you to do that, all the while spending money on luxurious shit like hand delivered food (which the vast majority of the world only does out of necessity, or otherwise cannot afford to do). Capitalism has issues, society has issues, the modern phenomenon of worshipping the wealthy and "self made" has issues. I think it's possible to see those issues and want to address them without decrying the idea or system as a whole as this guy does.
