Startup Illusions of grandeur, assumptions

article image placeholderUploaded by @LifeOrigami
It's not necessarily a validation of the business model or the idea or the entrepreneurs, but more a desperation in our world of needing to grow of investors and money managers that are required to make their assets grow of their clients. And so they take a certain amount of risk and loss because they know that. And they bet on the bet big that there's going to be a unicorn and it's going to be a big payout that makes up for all the losses

Sudden success is often decades in the making @Taylor @NLOFrank

The results of this will certainly be felt in the years to come. I look around in the city that I live in, and the vast majority of people that I went to school with as a child are either living with their parents or are living in houses filled with roommates. I'm talking eight roommates, and most of these folks are working very good jobs, what we would consider very good jobs and are being worked to the bone

Such an interesting topic, thanks for making me think @Taylor

But here's the important thing that I wanted to bring up is we had in the previous government here had legislated a $15 an hour minimum wage. Then we got a new conservative government head and they rolled it back. And I think the minimum wage now is either $13 or $14 an hour. So your description of working. I think you said three jobs just to be able to make ends meet

@Taylor University costs: how does the state handle them? Consequences....

This was the drawback, but there was some help, at least with some credits we could borrow and would have to give back. But the state organized the possibility of borrowing money at a lower rate. And this was a good thing

@LifeOrigami Organisation of salaries & relationships employees/employers..

You've heard about Prideons, the French philosopher Pride on who's was before Karl Marx and said that the fruit of your working effort should be paid to you. And even if an employer gives you the opportunity to work, it should all get back to you because it is you who works anyway. There are many theories about how to organize the state or not the state, the industry, the companies and their way of dealing with workers
