> Startups should live or die because they create good products and solve real problems in real markets, not because they made an arbitrary choice like which bank they started using.

“Should”. You say that like we’re just choosing between making it work that way or not, but reality is it doesn’t work that way, and they’re asking others to give them a ton of money to make it work that way for them, while at the same time refusing to contribute to make it work that way for anybody else.

If you really believed that line, then you’d think the government should seize lucky profits, too.
