In venture capital, you are what you fund.

Two of Silicon Valley’s famous venture capitalists make the case for backing Trump: that their ability to make money is the only value that matters.

      Too bad he’s also a huge hypocrite who helped those very rich men price fix all bread in Canada and was the only 2020 contender that competed with Biden when it came to billionaire donors.

      He knows it so well because his job is to do good things (or, when the head of a regulatory agency, do nothing more than wag a finger after the fact) for very rich men while pretending to be a man of the people and devoted civil servant.

          He might be a shitty Doogie Howser knockoff, but he wasn’t born as mayor. 🙄

          Before that, he worked as a consultant for the profiteering maximization firm McKinsey for 3 years.

              When your job is extracting as much money as possible, including via unnecessary mass layoffs, being good at your job is a BAD thing.

              His job was to help screw workers over to maximize the wealth of already rich people and to a certain degree, it still is.

                  Maximizing profit is what you are paid to do

                  Which is a societal disease, not an immutable fact of life. Seeking profit maximizing at the expense of the workers and/or the quality of the product or service you offer is not virtuous or natural.

                  Without the realization of that fact, you cannot be successful in either.

                  That’s just false. Many of us would consider providing a good product or service and providing gainful employment the end goals of commerce. Not maximizing profit at the expense of everything else like a goddamn parasite.
