    That’s not what’s happening.

    Now it’s just ‘open the market for VCs to suck the good out of everything they can’

      I have verifiably never been active military or served in Nam but the first thought that came to my head was Veit Cong.

        I’d argue Venture Capitalists have done more damage to the world than the Vietcong ever did.

        Before Neoliberalism, VC type investing was done with a view for the future.

        Nowadays it’s all ‘drain the value, dump the husk, move on to the next startup’.

        It’s parasitic and on a scale never before seen in human history.
