What a sad, miserable take. This is not at all my experience.
Wait, you claim to run email systems and don't know what SES is?
Have you driven in Tesla FSD recently? If anything it’s undersold. It’s an absolute miracle. I use it everyday.
That's not the same thing. Those aren't real companies. This is buying existing, profitable companies with real employees and customers.
This is a low quality, very poorly edited and researched piece of borderline content spam.
NYC. Go to meet ups. Subscribe to some NYC tech event newsletters. You can go to several events every single night.
Honest question: what's wrong with any of these examples?
This is what Deel and Remote do for international employees. PEOs do this domestically (Justworks and Insperity, for instance)

I felt similar to you while living in Kentucky and turning 30. It felt like all my friends had moved onto the next phase of their life and I wasn't ready for that. I felt unmotivated and stuck, but also felt guilty because I had an income and a job that I felt I should be happy to have.
Moving to NYC completely changed my perspective and my life. Moving also had other impacts: it forced a change of scenery, forced me to make new friends, learn about new parks, learn all new neighborhoods to walk through with no prior memories, I felt inspired with new ideas for the first time in a long time, forced new hobbies and ways of spending time (hello volleyball! hello going to 5 networking events in one night!) and the process of introducing myself to new people over and over made me realize I didn't like what I was doing for work.
I'm not advocating for NYC specifically. I was in Austin last weekend and felt a similar draw there, so if I was 30 and in that stuck spot today that's probably where I'd go to start. There's an energy that dense cities have that forces change, in my experience.
Good luck to you! It can be a very rewarding journey.
I suspect part of the appeal is it's not permanently blue.
This may be true for you but come to any major city and there are large events every single night. It's back to pre-covid. Every bar in NYC is packed, concerts are back. I went to see 4 shows last weekend.
I did a one week ayahuasca retreat that changed my life. Highly recommend if one feels stuck or has things to get through.
Years of therapy also helped me.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine.
Very few people are stealing for food in the US. Free food for the homeless is widely available in every major city.
About time. Let’s hope NYC’s new mayor follows a similar path.
Yes, these things eliminate people who are sympathetic to the core cause but in no way want to be associated with these actions.
Ironically, I think you could sell this as a product/service.
Venmo has been next day for me for years (which OP mentions in the article)

Entrepreneurs' Organization has been incredibly helpful to me. I've been a member for six years now - it changed my life. It's not cheap, but well worth it if your local chapter is well run.

Uhh have you been to East San Diego County?
Your co-founder likely has no ability to just kick you out. What do the documents you signed say? Is there an operating agreement?
Who brought in the investor? Who has that relationship? If you're friendly with them, you could ask for advice or feedback. Do you have business mentors near you who can help you navigate this?
To be fair you’re not a frequent flyer or even really valuable to the airlines. They’re not making money on you - they’re making it on the business people flying BOS -> LAX round trip in first class 30-40 times a year.
How is that tax fraud? You pay federal taxes anywhere in the world you live as an American citizen.
