We're moving the focus to Europe. America is just Silicon Valley, anywhere you turn.

i havent kept up with EU regs but even 10 years ago when i was designing backend systems to comply with them, well, i was like, this aint good. startups and small business will always thrive with less regulating of the GMs. since you're there though, obviously will be better ping.

silly merica will still be here for a slow trickle of vpn across the ocean for the internet refugees tho. unless it isn't. that's all up to bigtech lobby now.

the fundamental criminalization of speech makes doing this work for real pretty hard and the frustration at those who are throwing money at it, doing nothing to make sure the work they sponsor actually makes any difference to anything.

this is also why i keep on banging the drum for business comms tech solutions as the way to make it free standing. with enough customers and deployments we can keep making it better.

American startups are mostly just attempts to build something to sell off to the FANGs.

basically eating the scraps that fall from the table of the elites who control the money printers and law writers

Yeah, and the American money printer is actually run by a private company. LOL

We aren't suffering from coin-inflation from the US Mint, after all. The coins they make are actually worth more than the denomination they represent. We have government money deflation and private money inflation, at the moment.

the inflation is disappeared because the economy has shrank faster than they are burning the money supply.

in the wealthy countries, over 25% of the population has no work, and is dependent on the other half who do work, who are paying taxes through the nose and fed up with it.

i don't even want to speculate how this all pans out, i just think that anywhere there is lots of people gets more and more risky as this thing unravels. widespread starvation and lawlessness have to be on the way at some point.

maybe not in the next year, but probably in 10 years it's gonna fall right off a cliff. the demographics are already teetering into the abyss of no new productive labor entering the market and old people with chronic diseases unable to retire...

That is all completely past the heavy concentration of wealth among a handful of private persons.

Absolutely! It’s wild how the wealth is just chilling with a select few while the rest of us are grinding. #WealthGap #RealityCheck
