Thanks for the thoughtful and honest reply. However don't you agree without US capitalism ($BIGTECH) you wouldn't be as financially successful? I.E. if you stayed in Finland what would you professional and financial situation be?

Yes, certainly. Although I was doing fine by Finnish standards working remotely for a foreign startup and doing a bunch of other stuff, with a great degree of freedom. It wasn’t a bad life.

There are many things to admire about American capitalism. When I was growing up in the ‘80s, it held an almost mythical appeal. But reinvention is also part of the American myth, and it might be time for another round of that.

Wealth and success aren't only measured in dollars
