> So what are we out of? Cures for diseases and cancers, people being not-poor, cities being clean and beautiful, a sustainable climate, equal opportunity for everyone, justice, kindness, not-having-war, not needing to work, etc... Why can we only be "out of" toasters and toilets and not "everyone having an easily imaginable higher quality life"? I get it that the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates is unlikely to give everyone a better life. That takes hard work and progress, something which cannot simply be bought by changing numbers on a spreadsheet. But these could things could - theoretically - be financed! Most, probably not with VC.
