Wow what a shame it would be if Silicon Valley tech firms had trouble securing capital going forward. The US economy would've missed out on all those subscription boxes and delivery apps that never became profitable.

@mtsw my company relies on those firms for growth capital - the business we're in is highly capital intensive. Without it the state will shut us down. 200+ employees will lose their jobs.

Not everyone associated with that system is a money-grubbing shit bag.

@mtsw Yes, but then we'd have to face the fact that we haven't really had a good idea for a new product or service in about 20 years.
@mtsw We're just a few months away from the robotaxis
@mtsw counterpoint: i like having my job
