corporate welfare in the form of immense cash injections, forgivable loans, immaterial interest rates, downright lovable tax policy, and an accelerating crap-ton of captured regulation (like lockdowns heavily favoring the largest businesses). all without any structural reform so that that excess isn't hoovered up by the already wealthy.
This is fascinating. It kinda sounds very unstable though. Like how does a pandemic ruptured economy somehow come out looking better than it was pre pandemic?

You always have to expect there to be two demographics, big tech and…

Yes, launching was a lot of work. My focus is on product. The real talent is a 3-person team in Croatia who I found via a HN "Who wants to be hired" post. We started April-2020. What you see today is the result of everyone working evenings and weekends, during the quarantine lockdown, while maintaining a full-time job. Much respect and love for: Bruno, Ivona and Kresho.
