The americans that voted that kenyan citizen into the US presidency decided for the rest. Enjoy the next 4 years of the same drivel.
nonsense. nobody shells out millions for lame web ideas. vc funding is a shot in the dark with extremely outlandish possible returns
This is not true. Venture capitalists will talk to anyone, provided they sound competent and have some background. The world is not that shut off to innovators. In fact, they are desperate for true innovators and the next big idea.
. His extensive business experience allowed him to come to this conclusion.. And also... sucking on the Gov. tit for most of his life has given him a perspective that is foreign to me and many others like myself . His mandate is to recreate this country to his myopic dream cheers john
there are two types of americans, people with the work ethic and a desire to accomplish and govt suckers. 1. first of all obama didn't build that govt which built the roads the constitution and the rule of law did with business tax dollars did. 2. govt does not build business - people who risk their brainpower, time and money do. 3. This taleb stuff has gone way to far. Not every success is random luck or because someone built it for you. Far from it. The point of Talebs book is to know that you should be aware. We had a bunch of goofy people on et a few years ago arguing that winning wimbledon or the super bowl a few times can't be distinguished from randomness. That too me is a complete misunderstanding of how the universe works. When you project out a business... you leave some room to make dynamic adjustments for future info and events. You know thimgs will be different... but that does not mean your success was random... it means you built something capable of dynamic adjustment.
Your pithy words express what surely must be the thinking of the majority of U.S. voters, many of whom are not registered with either party and call themselves independents. U.S. voters are repeatedly faced with choosing the least worst, rather than the best, candidate. It's a shame. One side or the other may propose what could be effective legislation to address a problem. To get the other side on-board compromises must be made. Nearly always, it seems, the compromise protects narrow interests at the expense of overall efficacy. This happens over and over again and has resulted in one law after another that falls short of solving the problem it was intended to solve. We get more rules and expense without a commensurate benefit. Examples: ACA , and Dodd-Frank. Now we hear that Eric Cantor inserted language into a House Bill that would exempt wives of congressmen from having to comply with legislation to stop insider trading by congressmen. Is it is time to burn the Constitution and start over?
The difference is that the other people who helped build the business voluntarily agreed to do so, usually in exchange for wages or other financial consideration. So, these other people who helped build it have already been paid for their work - they have no further claim, they're even. That means the business as it stands belongs to the shareholders - not to the employees, not to the government (who never got any agreement before taking their cut by force), or anyone else.
