* When the CEO dumps the CTO and folds the job into his own, the startup is dead, no matter for how long it continues to turn a profit. * Freecamping in Europe

* When the CEO dumps the CTO and folds the job into his own, the startup is dead, no matter for how long it continues to turn a profit. * Freecamping in Europe has shown me as an American that America is not nearly as free as we were taught to think. Great place to make money, though. * There are definitely better things to experience in life than playing with more money than one really _needs_.

> Great place to make money, though. Caveats: Getting sick / injured, not having a normally paying job, poor worker rights, growing old. I'm happy to pay half my income in taxes if it means me and the people I care about will be taken care of.

Just as an FYI you can camp free on national forest land in Oregon. I had a friend that did that for two summers.

  You can camp for free on national parks and most state parks as well. So I'm wondering what exactly OP is going on about unless being super edgy.

    I interpreted OP's statement as referring to other, unsaid aspects of (US) American life that they saw in contrast while camping in Europe--not as referring to the "free" in "freecamping" as a significant difference between the two regions. I'd be interested in what those differences were, though.

      In some regions you are permitted to camp _on someone else's private property_ given you adhere to specific, and somewhat strict, rules. https://www.scotways.com/faq/law-on-statutory-access-rights https://www.scotways.com/faq/law-on-statutory-access-rights

  They may be referring to rules like the Freedom to Roam as found in Scotland. https://www.scotways.com/faq/law-on-statutory-access-rights https://www.scotways.com/faq/law-on-statutory-access-rights Or not. But it's very distinct from what's allowed in the US (or most of the world for that matter)

> When the CEO dumps the CTO and folds the job into his own, the startup is dead, no matter for how long it continues to turn a profit. Is this exclusive to the c-suite, or is "CTO" interchangeable with "Head of Product?"
