Re:Startups Are Scooping Up Big Tech’s Cast-Off Workers by mattpallissard on Thursday May 11, 2023 @10:13AM (#35902388)
America has always been a make it or break it place with most people not making it.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just pointing out that has been our schtick for hundreds of years. It's the land of opportunity, not the land of guarantee.

Absolutely.

> most people not making it

By any metric, there's at most a handful of countries where the median person is as well off as in the US. I struggle to say that most people aren't making it here; or if they really aren't, then not making it in America is better than making it in most other places.
