There is a large socialist/anti-capitalist/woke movement on Twitter and a somewhat in the real world as well. I assume PG would like to call all those people out directly. But he cannot because in the current media and social clim

A startup makes sense if you are looking to do something different or to expand you skillset. Working at a major corporation can feel stifling over time. The important thing to understand that there is almost 0% chance that your "1-4%&
