I like all the logical fallacies that have been thrown around in this article.
While the “99 percent” don’t yet have a clear outline for how they’re going to change things, one thing is clear: they’re frustrated.
No, you're frustrated. The 99% have no idea how this even affects them. But that's how it goes, right? Sanctimonious preachers denouncing practices they don't care to understand, and don't have a solution to, while the 99% follow along blindly for "the cause".
Additionally, if YCombinator is promoting a world where values don’t matter and economic transactions are the only thing that do, then they are truly part of the old guard.
I'm missing the logical link between Y Combinator promoting such, and pg's comment. I've had the opportunity to speak to some YC founders, and the two stunning things I remember is "make things that people want", and "try and make peoples' lives suck less".
- biznickman 15y agoYour last point: "try and make peoples' lives suck less" ... what happens if you make one group's lives suck less while making another group worse? That's the bigger point. As for the 99% being frustrated, that's all it's about, no? It's a bunch of people that started posting photos of themselves voicing their frustrations about not having a job, and other issues that they have.
