Nonsense as Sweden has more per capita billionaires than US and more unicorn startups per capita than most US cities
- theredbox 8y agoTalk about arbitrary numbers you used.
- vasilipupkin 8y agoThese directly refute the claim that Sweden is only a good place for people who lack talent
- badpun 8y agoMost billionaires inherit their wealth? As for startups, it would be better to see the success ratio (how many people tried to create a startup vs how many succeed) and not just the number of survivors.
- vasilipupkin 8y agoWe are discussing the claim that talented people can’t succeed in Sweden. Yet, higher per capita number of unicorns in Sweden than in many other places, including US, shows that this claim is false
- badpun 8y ago> We are discussing the claim that talented people can’t succeed in Sweden. Who made this claim? Certainly not me. I claimed that, for an ordinary software engineer (i.e. not a startup founder), life will be better/easier in many other European countries.
- booboolayla 8y ago> higher per capita number of unicorns in Sweden than in many other places, including US You can only come to that conclusion by diluting what a "unicorn" means.
- badpun 8y agoStatistics about billionairies or unicorn startup owners are not related to the way a middle class workers (say, software engineers) live.
