Good for them, although like most passion careers market forces are guaranteed to turn it into something quite undesirable for anyone wishing to make a steady living. Why treat your staff well when more are always knocking at the door?
The fact is the willingness to do the work isn't the problem, the issue is always whether there is sufficient capital on the table.
- curiousllama 5y agoMost investors would cite a lack of opportunities, though. More young people doing more things means more investment opportunities.
- mgbmtl 5y agoConsidering billionaires are going to space for fun, I think there's enough capital.
- SV_BubbleTime 5y agoIn the past they build a continental railroad, cities, industry and inventions for fun, those were at least useful. I’m not sure what we get out of billionaire space flights really, maybe some safety and viability data. I’m not sure I’ve seen Zuckerberg, Bezos, Branson, et al expressing interest into the next transistor. Maybe our generation’s robber barons aren’t as interesting as ones of the past?
- Aachen 5y agoOr maybe it's just a lot easier to tell what "the next transistor" is with half a century of hindsight. You're basically saying "kids these days" except about billionaires.
- captainbland 5y agoWell yeah of course, the issue I'd take is it's on the "cock rocket" table rather than the "fix climate change" table.
