Except even if you accept his claims it was still a terrible memo and he deserved to get fired.

It's just whataboutism and false equivalencies. Standard tactics.

> Why does it matter it is "biased"? because "Biased" isn't really the term that Breitbart deserves. "liars", "frauds", "propaganda" are closer.

It's not that a VC company failed, it's that the entire idea looks completely ridiculous from the start.

It's entirely possible this person just felt like they have other, better, options. Maybe they don't want to be a web dev, maybe they want regular work vs the uncertainty of consulting, maybe they felt like they weren't up to

I'm okay with CEOs making more money, but what I can't stand is the golden parachutes and lack of responsibility.

Yeah well, that's what happens when you base your interview around algorithm trivia.

THat's not as true when we are talking about stock from Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, etc... The risk is dramatically lower.

But they are totally taking on all the risk and hard work. YOu just have to work insane hours for half of your worth with the risk of getting fired. That's no risk at all compared to being a founder, you should be grateful they gave yo

When you are north of 150k in base that's already considered pretty high for a lot of these other companies. Then you add in stock, bonus, etc... Adds up to a huge package.

I think they are too big, have too much information, have too many near-monopoly positions they abuse, and far too much control over the internet. Same thing applies to facebook, and to a lesser extent Amazon. break them up.

Nah. Just rip them apart and start going after them for anti-trust reasons. Instead of going after Apple for harming consumers with their ebook BS (actually, in addition to) go after Amazons monopoly on the space.

They are american companies first and you should trust them even less because they are open to corruption by the US government.

Yup. A few people get rich, the rest of us get screwed because the rent-seekers are eating up supply.

The opioid epidemic was a direct result of giving out opioids as painkillers. A better example is smoking. You allow it, you tax it, you educate people about the dangers. Some people still smoke, but the numbers are way down.

I dunno, people/society have a tendency to ignore problems and then freak out when they cause issues. Maybe if we keep hammering on about how people predicted this stuff the next prediction will get listened to a bit mroe.

It's not even about lending. It's about consumer rights being eroded all over the place and losing any real concept of ownership. You buy a tesla, but oh it's not really yours to do with as you please. You agreed to terms on
