Not sure we can say that we "deserve it", but I see your point...there are always bound to be some greedy assholes who don't see the bigger picture. It's really fascinating (in a morbid way) how much less innocent the startup scene is today than just five years ago when YC was in its infancy and PG's startup essays were considered controversial. There are just _so many sleazebags_ involved in startups right now. Of course this reflects the rest of the world, but it really pains me every time I see a naïve or just unlucky nerd get shafted by some unscrupulous authority figure. Maybe a crash would actually be a good thing, because it would scare off everyone who isn't in tech for legitimate reasons.
