Move fast and break things is what built Silicon Valley and the modern world. It works, demonstrably.
The way the government has been run the past decades doesn't work, demonstrably. Every important metric has worsened.

- esalman 2y agoIt works? Are you sure?
- orthecreedence 2y agoSure, it works great. And if the federal government fails, just call your favorite VC buddies and start a new federal government. Maybe one without one of those pesky constitutions. Why has nobody thought of this?
- monocasa 2y agoThe VCs trying to build a new federal government is ironically what we're seeing here.
- lionkor 2y agoIt works as long as you have investors shoving millions or billions into your behind so you can fix the fuckups
- HeuristicsCG 2y agothen they are in luck, they have the worlds largest investor behind them (US, Not Musk)
- TheGRS 2y agoDoesn't work in what sense though?

- danso 2y agoThe U.S. government is a service with 330 million people who are both users and legal stakeholders, mandated to provide and maintain a variety of services and databases that predate the Internet and personal computing by several decades, and run by a publicly elected executive who is term limited to 8 years. Which Silicon Valley entity do you think comes close to the scope and continuity of service of the U.S. government?
- klipt 2y agoOligarchs don't want "government by the people, for the people". They want to own the government and rent it back to the people for massive profits.
- caycep 2y agoerr, Silicon Valley hates to admit it but the Federal government built Silicon Valley...and Tesla.
- esalman 2y agoYeah. This is the worst example of a lack of self awareness.
- bandrami 2y agoMove fast and break things started in 2005 which was exactly when Silicon Valley stopped producing companies that could make a profit and instead relied on endless fire hoses of investor cash
