Am I missing something or is this literally "Displaced workers get new jobs"?

"No proper health care etc for people cleaning their flats or flipping their burgers..." Almost $1 trillion was spent on Medicaid last year. What are you talking about?
Eligiblity for Medicaid is limited, and many important groups are "optional" which essentially means "no, if Republicans control any branch of your state government".

I’m skeptical that the same patterns we saw in the early 2000s are going to play out again. Last time, tech was in its infancy. There was a small universe of people who understood baseline concepts like getting to product market fit, how to measure and implement growth patterns, etc etc. Today these are practically household concepts, and they have been for years. There aren’t a few hundred other people in SV you are…
I think you underestimate the effects of bureaucracy and sclerosis at large companies like Google, and the upcoming crackdown like the EU's DMA and DSA. Just look at how OpenAI basically stole Google's lunch.
Too early to spike the football over that, OpenAI got outfoxed on Dall-E illustratively and ChatGPT's best chance for monetization remains as a feature for MSFT services, not an independent entity.

In Germany, it's not the social system per se but it's aoparent utter ineffectiveness. We're paying more and more every year but the state/public system seems to fail everywhere and worse so than the year before. It's like the money is completely sucked up by some unproductive black hole. And no, it's not because of reduced taxation from rich to working class, or missing taxes on property or some other policy. These…

In France, apparently you can go on unemployment for 2, up to 3 years to start a startup. With up to 80% pay. In Germany you can get 6 months of unemployment insurance when starting a startup out of unemployment. Or get 6 months paid when starting a startup out of Uni. Then you could get various public funding opportunities like a startup bonus (for example 50K public funding for 50K private investment in an innovati…

citation needed. I have met a lot of French people and they just seem normal human beings like any other nation. So I disagree with you.

Average salary in SV is 115k, 22k in France. USA live off its neo-colonial digital empire, not through the exploitation of blue collars. When any digital company out there pay 30% of what they earn in tarifs on cloud, ads, servers, licenses, app revenue, patent litigation, …
Why does SV pay so much? Can't we just cut pay down to what Europe pays? Why are our companies so charitable?
Re: Startups Are Scooping Up Big Tech’s Cast-Off Workers
#98American engineers are lucky to earn enough to be able to save up and do stuff like this, like on $200k you can save enough to really try a start-up for a year or two. Whereas in Europe we're lucky to get $80k in the same jobs, and then the state steals half of that :/

So, you compare the averge of France, a cpuntey not known for high salaries, as a cpuntey to one of the highest paid regions in the world? SV =|= blue collar, the rust belt and Detroit are blue collar.
Ok let's do a fairer comparison. Avg annual income across EU was 33,500 Euro in 2022[1]. For the USA, that was 60,500USD [2] [1] https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/products-eurostat-news/w/d... [2] https://www.sofi.com/learn/content/average-salary-in-us/
And yet you do not hear of normal people in the EU going bancrupt over medical expenses or not taking an ambulance because they cannot afford it. Funny, isn't it?

Then don’t take the road. You can’t opt out of high taxes.
And do what, fly?
Every medium sized city, and above, in the mainland U.S. is serviced by multiple highways.
I highly doubt either any future city government would allow all the highways to be converted to privately owned toll roads.
