>Why sell shit that you don't want yourself/ aren't passionate about??

Best interpreation: you need to pay bills and this startup is your last hope after sending out 500 apps and getting 3 interviews back (2 interviews ghosted you after the first round and the 3rd said "overqualified" despite it being a senior role)

Worst interpretation: we're in a gold rush, and a lot of people will sell fool's gold if they can.

I understand this situation and maybe this is the reason why I think that we might need to change the system so that there isn't so much pressure on people to pay the bills that startup becomes the last hope..

Like, I definitely understand the desperation but I can't help but blame the system which lead us to where we are but I don't really know man, maybe blaming the system wouldn't help either and there is definitely some pessimism in the air.

We can change so much things but to me it just seems as if __people don't care__ And I can understand if people are busy in their lives but now we are just gonna have this churn keep on going and going and this bubble is going to burst which is suddenly gonna impact people's wallets but then everybody is going to forget just as they forgot the web bubble.

The system is 1000% to blame and it should be something we bring more awareness of.

But that's sadly not happening here. Every story about the true problems get flagged because HN seems to have this strong sense of staying apolitical in a time of absolutely rampant destruction happening in real time most recent example of the US government shutting down: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45434146

There's a lot of Apathy but what really worries me is the almost forced ignorance from people who should be able to rise beyond that. I guess it's just a reflection on how Silicon Valley also sold out when push came to shove. Whatever makes more money, morality, ethics, and long term preservation be damned.
