Pretty tired of startupland using this idea as a shibboleth. Eventually, you're going to have to answer the charge of "Silicon Valley is just building a bunch of useless bullshit" with something that actually is not. Moving money from one industry to another doesn't count.

For many USians, health care is a pressing issue but maybe the best chance at improvement is through "EU-style" socialized medicine? My main problem is being afraid to lose my job and therefore my home -- could this be solved by a combination of basic income, better training schemes, and a general reduction in working hours? Other than that, my main issues are noise and pollution -- I guess cleaner and quieter cars would help but fewer cars would be a lot better. How do you make a profitable company around that?
