HN has long declared itself an "Everything is Fine" zone. While you are here it is important to remember that "Everything is Fine". Suggesting that things might not be fine is a good pathway to being flagged or at least downvoted. Since everything is fine, the only motivation you would have for suggesting it's not, is to create trouble for political reasons, which is clearly against HN guidelines. It's pretty clear that Everything is Fine because most of us have invested our lives on future prosperity. We're working hard on tough problems because tomorrow will be far brighter than today. The funding our companies receive is based on the promise of future economic growth. If it were some how the case that everything was not fine (and again, to be crystal clear, Everything is Fine), then many people here would be thrown into a very uncomfortable emotional place, since it would call into question nearly all of our assumptions about the world that give us meaning. But of course we are comfortable, because Everything is Fine. Are their problems? Of course! Otherwise we wouldn't need startups and we wouldn't need VC funding. If you see a problem the answer is simple: why not find the solution and pitch it in the next YC round? All problems are just opportunities for startup disruption, waiting to be solved. They're exciting! So don't worry too much, and most importantly, remember that Everything is Fine.
