Zuck was birthed in the pits of Isengard so he’s actually Gen I. That’s why it’s all about him!

Well it’d be pretty time wastey to not get a real ID when they’ve been screaming about it for what a decade now?

Based on your other comments, I’m curious what your solution is? The government needs our records to collect taxes. So at the minimum the government must have some information. We can argue over the mechanism and trust factor but that’s not

Meanwhile our top VCs continue to invest in SaaS, AI (new SaaS), and crypto (ponzi returns) because I guess the only thing that matters is widening the wealth gap and enjoying the yacht life. I work in VC and make early stage investments pr
