It might be naive of me but I think there is. It’s a lot of work but we can develop self -sustaining communities that support each other. That support can look a variety of ways too, from shopping at each others small businesses to sharing crops from gardens and farms.

There is definitely no magic country though. I just returned to my home country after jumping from job to job in Europe trying to find a place for me and my family that wasn’t awful. Unfortunately, being an immigrant is hard no matter where you go and people will take advantage of your vulnerability.

Yeah that’s true

Yeah it is insane how many of them have no higher education, or conversely simply got a PhD and have never worked in industry before

I mean, yes, but not nearly as much

Don’t worry buddy, I get it. I feel the same way about USA

This is an incredibly frustrating part of my work with startups. I do economic assessments for climate tech, and if it doesn’t work on paper then you can be damn sure it won’t magically start working in the real world. There are millions of reasons a startup might fail and very few that even give a chance for success (big VC success, not just normal profitablity or survival).

In summary I agree it’s a massive lottery, but it drives me crazy how much investment goes to lottery tickets that don’t even have a legitimate chance of success.

I mean, you COULD just have a massive membrane area. They won’t, cause that’d be crazy, but you could.
