That's a great article. I'd rather see a market full of small independent, ever growing operators than zombies drinking VC money before getting sold for a billion to some giant and become terrible. Those small independent companies are all people who traded a life of soul-less employment for the digital equivalent of a mom and pop store. That's the life and the society I want. An interesting question may be, how did we get here? Why there is so much money to invest? In other words, why there is so much inequality? Part of it is natural, the Silicon Valley created a lot of value through technology and it's been rewarded nicely. But I think the answer is deeper and lies in the centralised economy we have, in corrupted government officials assisting monopolies creation through regulation and the government being a monopoly itself.
