Think out of the box for a second, is this really the only possible choices we have here? Or are billionaires using and designing the system to create more opportunities to make $$$ at the expense of others work.


Have you visited IndieHackers.com? They are demonstrating you don't need funding to create amazing things.


Thanks for letting me know about this site. I hadn't seen it before! I don't suppose I could beg an invite from you...?


Unfortunately I don't have any invite codes, but I'm sure another reader on HN could help you out :)


It's not out of the box thinking. The problem is that you want to throw one of the values out of the calculation box. You want billionaires to provide capital because there is 'no other way to get a startup going (paraphrasing)' but you don't want to assign a value to that (as in, the workers are what is creating the value).


You're using corporatism to argue against capitalism. They're not the same thing.
