  12. #Trump’s new $100,000 #H1Bvisa fee is causing concern among #startupleaders and #venturecapitalists. They argue that the fee will make it difficult for #startups to hire skilled foreign workers, potentially driving talent to other countries. The policy is expected to face legal challenges and its implementation remains uncertain. geekwire.com/2025/startup-lead #tech #media #news

  14. #ukpol #housing Sod the #royalfamily Punitive sanctions on all landlords holding back all empty homes. I don't give a stuff whether that's #localgovernment, #housingassociations or #venturecapitalists. The only thing that works are small local #housing #cooperatives. That's both my experience and an opinion.

    The Royal Family have at least 8 empty homes - they could all be used to house asylum seekers! ⬇️

  19. #VentureCapitalists #SanFrancisco #BalajiSrinivasan

    "To fully grasp the current situation in San Francisco, where venture capitalists are trying to take control of City Hall, you must listen to Balaji Srinivasan. Before you do, steel yourself for what’s to come: A normal person could easily mistake his rambling train wrecks of thought for a crackpot’s ravings, but influential Silicon Valley billionaires regard him as a genius."

  20. In the end most countries not only follow the #American model, but do so unwittingly.

    I'm not saying Americans aren't entertaining or inspiring, but #SiliconValley, coupled with the #USGovernment, their #financeindustry that feeds these silly #VentureCapitalists money to fail upwards is becoming somewhat trite - and dangerous.

    I'm against #tracking of my people in #Norway, mostly because no country should have centralized access to all the world's data.

    That is insane.

  24. "The #Israel-i Defense Tech Conference, aimed at tech companies working with Israel's military (ed. to commit #genocide), was scheduled for November at the #GoogleForStartups campus in #TelAviv.
    It was co-sponsored by #GoogleIsEvil; Fusion #VentureCapitalists; Genesis, a startup accelerator; and the Israeli military’s research and development arm... (DDR&D, or Ma’fat)."

  25. Another venture crapitalist running for office:

    J.D. Morris: Mark Farrell’s venture capital success — and one controversial paycheck — questioned in mayoral bid

    "When Mark Farrell, the former San Francisco mayor now running to get his old job back, was asked by a pair of college students to talk about the most successful investment that his venture capital firm had made, he didn’t hesitate.

    'For sure, our most successful one has been Sonder,' Farrell said in the 2021 video, referring to an Airbnb-like short-term rental company in which his firm, Thayer Ventures, was an early investor. 'We’re huge, huge supporters of what they do. Definitely believe in their long-term vision. I think they’re still just getting going. But they’ve done incredibly well. It’s been a great financial investment for us and our fund.'"

  27. I don't know which #venturecapitalists need to hear this, but I am not paying one of your companies for a wearable wiretap.

    No, not even a little bit.

    In fact, I argue that it's at least a violation of call recording laws in spirit, if not in fact.

  28. Moral bankruptcy of #MarcAndreessen and #BenHorowitz
    Two of #SiliconValley’s famous #venturecapitalists make case for #Trump: their ability to make money is only value that matters.
    #Andreessen says he is upset that #BigTech is too powerful, but he opposes #antitrust action because that blocks a route for #VC to exit.
    This VC cabal is trading against the basic principles of America — not merely against personal freedom, but democracy itself — in the hopes of profit.

  29. CW: re: Some half baked ideas about AI, automation, and jobs

    We've seen some resistance to the currently unworkable state of work: #QuietQuitting, increasing support for #unions, and the successful SAG-AFTRA and WGA #strikes. Right now, it looks like the bosses are hoping they can just automate us all away with #LLMs and maybe #covid19 will disable enough of us that we won't be able to fight back. Even if that happened, I don't think they've fully thought through the logical conclusions of a world without #workers or consumers, but if the #capitalists were forward-thinking, we wouldn't be in the #polycrisis we're in to begin with.

    I saw someone, I can't remember who, say that #capitalism seemed to have reached a stage where those in power wished it could exist as an autopoetic system, perpetuating itself without the need for workers, #consumers, or resources. #VentureCapitalists may think #AI is the answer, but I don't think so. I don't think people will go quietly into the increasing precarity we're all facing.

  30. They might not have left their heart in #SanFrancisco, but #StartUp #BrainPower infrastructure is still concentrated there despite a so-called #DoomLoop, and #TechBros & #AI #VentureCapitalists just can't quit that #CityByTheBay

    in fact many that bragged of deserting it have quietly returned

  31. #Bandcamp and #Songtradr executives, take notice. See all that sweet, sweet revenue? That's what you'll be missing out on if you drive fans and artists away from your platform by screwing over your employees.

    We #musicians and #fans #StandInSolidarity with #BandcampUnited. Our loyalty is reserved strictly for music itself and those who make it, not for #Executives, #BoardMembers, #VentureCapitalists, or #shareholders.

    Just #SignTheDeal and #PayYourPeople. It's not that difficult.

  32. Got my PCP practice letter to sign for ACO Reach 'Confirmation of main Doctor'. Such an ill feeling about #MedicareACO's. #VentureCapitalists bought my practice and since then, they went downhill. Then they bought up a bunch of other practices & practice types and formed an ACO Reach. If I don't do it, can & will my current doctor dump me?

    #Medicare/ #CMS's info is so garbled. They say it won't affect my care/choices but it's just overload of same information. #ACO #HealthCare @DataDrivenMD
