between 2010 to 2015 in an ideal world less money would be funded to the tech sector and other money would go into something useful like solar panels or wind construction, battery research, etc • I understand how and why the economy is like a big large cruise ship, hard to do the fine tuning

it is precisely the problem, we over invested in the tech sector, and most of the good ideas were funded in 3 years or less but the cheap money went much longer than that Juicero was 2013 to 2017 and got 120 million in angel funding over these 4 years with 200 plus employees that means somewhere
