Apple made that money from selling Airpods to the entire globe however. Part of EHR's problems are definitely that the market is only one single country, the United States.

You're making a broad comparison between the Marxian classes. But within capitalists there is also always the noveau riche and the old money. You have to be self aware of that dynamic. Because playing off old money vs noveau riche is

The flipside is that most startups fail. 90% of startups have terrible numbers on the metrics like churn, CAC,ARR, MRR. Because most startups fail. So as a startup founder, unless you are ONLY looking for financially illiterate employees w

Pretty much. Life is about observing the lizard brain rules. Never be the bearer of bad news for example, because even if people are polite about it, the lizard brain says stab the bearer of bad news.

Our conception of a job as doing repetitive, boring, pointless work, is very much not the nature of actual work. I feel there is a huge underclass in society who do dead end jobs and feel terrible inside. But that's not the nature of
