Venture capitalist: "Nice lookin' industry you've got there. Everything running smoothly, everyone making decent money. You know what you need, though? For me to come in and do nothing except break everything and take all the money until I get bored with this toy and abandon it." - ThreadSky

At this point I can't think of a single industry these guys haven't destroyed.

We need to just put these guys in VR simulators and let them keep racking up points (money) in the fake world where they are the only real person, which is how they treat this world. Then the rest of us can live our lives in peace.

Build them that metaverse they wouldn't shut up about a few years ago. Lock them inside.

I have been saying exactly this for years, where’s our funding

rosalarian.bsky.social•209 days ago

Business people with more money than they could spend in fifty lifetimes look at me making $20k/yr and think "How can we get our hands on 30% of that?"

We are all just NPCs standing in the way of these guys racking up points in their game. They don't need the money, but they don't feel bad about taking it from us because they don't see us as real. They have no souls and only see money. They are insatiable.

Agreed. 💯

I like the concept of "vampire capitalism." Vultures eat animals that are already dead, but vampires kill their victims to feed themselves.

That’s private equity / credit

chenswc2010.bsky.social•209 days ago

Is that a VC or a PE? 😂

annaleehq.bsky.social•208 days ago

I think Ro meant Private Equity

Venture capital seeds the fledgling business so it can grow into something worth pillaging

I read the post for the spirit of the sentiment

chenswc2010.bsky.social•208 days ago

That's what I thought. PE is like Trump, everything it touches die because profit is the strategy. The company I worked for is funded by PE and the CEO and upper management have no clue what they are doing, so they will be running the company to the ground soon. 😂

Agree. Here’s a graphic saying the same. https://www.gocomics.com/tomthedancingbug/2023/05/12
