“I talk to young founders these days and for them, there’s no other world than the Trump world. I ask them what inspired them to go into tech and they say they read Marc Andreessen’s manifesto, they read Peter Thiel’s books, and I think, “Oh, your brain’s cooked.” They come in pre-pickled. But everyone else who could have told an alternate narrative has been hounded out of the industry.”
Um. Hmm. Pretty sure that didn’t work and those in politics are raising armies and not doing peaceful pursuits…
Also a lot of the stuff about willing buyer and seller assumes that the buyer has options, I don’t think from the perspective of real people that everyone has that many options, so they end up with loans or other things which are not good, just to be able to afford vehicles to get to work or a place to live.
So a lot if this seems written by a rich person who has always been able to buy everything they needed and more, not someone who is having to go take loans or go into debt just to be able to get to work.
It also assumes the seller has options. It’s true when the field is equal but Amazon and Walmart both famously squeeze their suppliers to pain and everybody screws their laborers
