       Some thoughts on 2026.This is not Trump's fault (just want to make that disclosure)Right now-- Startup failure rates have readjusted to their normal 90%- AI Startup failure rates are way over 90%.  Probably will end up at 99% failure rates.On the 90% failure rate-Most startups imho are booted to give a CEO+executive staff luxury time- another issue.  Basically, if you can talk the talk you don't need to ever work.  All of the guys I know in the executive realm seem to operate this way, unfortunately (unfortunately coz I don't want to work wtih them).Get rid of those guys and you can have startups that have much better 60-70% failure rates.  That's where we should head.  Dump the serial-entrepreneurs.Two issues there really.  I can think of various AI startups to well... startup but it's just not good for either California or America to pursue them.  However, there are a number of startups one could do now that are.If you're considering a startup, please peruse over whether you want to be a ne'er-do-well Palo Alto-style AI startup company or maybe something real, involving work on your part.Cheers.
