You're welcome to try your way to provide good careers to these people. Just because other entrepreneurs didn't do it doesn't mean you should let it stop you!

I find this comment confusing, as there's no expectation of entrepreneurs to create jobs- its just a side effect of trying to make money. I agree with the top comment where this feels like more of the same and when the subsidy/vc money dries up they are going to be fired just as if they were a contractor as the company dissolves. There just wasn't anything in this piece that felt like more than a template fluff about how company X creates a service around consumer product Y and is paying some token people a few dollars over minimum wage. Which in itself is fine, but there was no real information on how they were going to sustain themselves and become a stable business.

The thing that irks me about this article is the feeling that it's going to be used as a powerpoint footnote/feel good slide forever well after the primary person in this article has long since departed.
