This seems somewhat myopic. I get that the culture of the valley is very entrepreneurial and the solution to every problem seems to be another free market competitor, but even if you buy into that ethos completely you have to see how this will fail.
The tech giants are now trillion dollar companies. Soon to be multi-trillion dollar companies. They have all the data, because they own all the platforms. They have bent the very protocols the internet is built on to their needs. They can see good ideas or dangerous competitors coming before the competitors themselves even realize what they're onto. There is little to no innovation left at these tech giants, they simple acquire and shut down anything that might turn into a real problem for them.
You cannot startup your way out of this quagmire. We need massive government intervention and a breakup of the tech giants, with strong new antitrust rules around future acquisitions. We simply cannot grow or innovate our way out of problems until that happens.
Showing your carbon footprint of Amazon purchases is cute and will give you a ton of stuff to virtue signal about at the right cocktail parties, but ultimately it's completely meaningless. You're not changing the internet, you're not changing Amazon with token projects like this.
All the emergency managers did a great job posting videos and FAQs, which are completely useless now. We should have been building massive free clinics in every city starting two weeks ago. This is a failure of imagination.
What? We just had our national day of prayer, that seems to be the main response. How on earth can you be optimistic in the face of all available evidence? What are you basing this month timeframe on, did you just completely invent that number out of thin air?
I'd start by reevaluating your belief that anyone who went to public school is a moron and that anyone who went to private school has a huge edge over them.
Do you see any connection between your failed business and your myopic world view?
