Paul does not have a, he has bosses; it’s called economic demand. His privilege evaporates if the mind palace built to empower VCs, b2b SaaS vanishes.

He adjusts to government policy. More bosses.

He’s just trying to sound like he lives on his own world, like the entitled child he is.

Hmm you seem to be interpreting “boss” as “any concept that impacts your decisions”, rather than the more specific definition I got out of the article, along the lines of “a person who tells you what to do and takes a large cut of the value you create.”

Having responsibilities and being affected by the state of the world is not the same as having someone you directly report to.
