I would think that news about U.S. bankruptcy should be of interest to the startup community, so let's maybe re-orient this discussions towards: "Does this kind of doom-and-gloom news also scares the crap out of you as a startup founder? Or is it just meh?"
- barrkel 16y agoBut this article isn't "news" about US bankruptcy - it's one-sided polemic. The US can't default on its debt in pretty much any scenario, because its debt is denominated in a currency it can print, and even more so since deflation looks like the problem, no inflation in sight; but that's only the beginning of its one-dimensional perspective, and it really doesn't belong here.
- adammichaelc 16y agoI voted you up, though I disagree that it shouldn't be here. I think it would be interesting to take the article and have an interesting discussion around its main points. These kinds of rational and intelligent discussions at HN are what make it so worthwhile, regardless of the topic. With the caveat that I don't want a Repub vs Democrat or Apple vs Android flamewar, but I don't think this qualifies as that type of piece.
- c1sc0 16y agoInteresting you put Apple vs. Repub and Android v.s Liberal in the same sentence.
