I'd agree, with a tiny caveat. I couldn't care less about US politics, think neither candidate is likely to change much that affects me or mine, and think the US president's power is vastly overstated. Where I disagree is tha

Would you have been as mad with 1703? How many were in the most recent batch? I have no idea, but 1500 seems close enough to me for a non-specific number.

That's a good point. Startups are not about exits, but big exits. I wonder if the $$ stack up, and where the sweet spot is, given 2 founders need twice the money from an exit.

Why remove downvoting directly? I'm not against the idea, I just want to understand the thinking. I wonder if the problem is the binary nature of so many things. 5 star/1 star reviews are the most common, we have up and down votes
