> Right now, entrepreneurs are trying to fix things that aren’t broken. And we can all name a lot of things that are broken: healthcare, education, homelessness and poverty, food waste, climate change… need I continue?

I'm kinda apprehensive of what would happen if SV got a hold of these problems and tried to "solve" them.

You get the US Digital Service; well intentioned tech professionals slamming on the accelerator pedal of bad policy using tech. Example: healthcare.gov works well now, but the ACA is falling apart financially due to being untenable in its current form.

The solution is not startups. The solution is people organizing for better government policy (single payer healthcare, etc).

Full disclosure: I interviewed with the USDS but declined the job offer.
