       Hard to overstate how dumb venture capitalists can be. E.g., David Sacks can't read his own link, which carefully explains how BLS uses two different surveys with different methods.https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf

       @maxkennerly Not to be rude, or anything, Max, but haven't they proved over and over that they are stupid people who lucked out "that one time," and won whatever they won because people are only too willing to swallow the Great Man Theory of Evolution? Journalists oohing and aahing oer Musk's wealth never bother to count up the enormous bills he's running up, in legal fees, costs, rent, etc. They're too awed by the Great Man.

       @thepoliticalcat @maxkennerly @Npars01 Nor do they ever consider the root of his wealth—- Daddy’s Emerald mine that exploits the labors of the poorest people and damages the land beyond repair.
