#12>Bring manufacturing back to America
That one is interesting in that I wouldn't naturally think of manufacturing as a common start up idea.

#14> BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICA That explains the admin on this forum throwing a "you're a nationalist!" at me recently, turns out I was ahead of the game on that (only that I was doing it for the wrong geo-political bloc) > NEW DEFENSE TECHNOLOGY Ooo, that certainly explains lots and lots of stuff, including the "warnings" whenever the comments don't support the correct geo-political bloc mentioned above. All…

Are you referring to this? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39315543 If so, it seems wildly unrelated to "BRING MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICA".

Manufacturing is capital intensive to begin with. An dgiven how little the average HN crowd, assuming the average HN applicant is somehwat similar, knows about manufacturing, well, the answer to that can inly be AI? Right?

Context:
Wrote [YC President Garry] Tan, addressing seven San Francisco supervisors who oversee the delivery of local government services: “Fuck Chan Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a label and motherfucking crew … And if you are down with Peskin Preston Walton Melgar Ronen Safai Chan as a crew fuck you too … Die slow motherfuckers.”

Yeah the AI line in there is interesting, it feels more than a little tacked on.
I can't help but imagine some startup with limited manufacturing knowledge ultimately offering what is at best some incremental improvement in some process that isn't enough to support the start up.
Or at least that's what I've seen from start ups entering areas that I've had experience in.

#20Earlier quoted context omitted.
Even respecting some of the truth in that, sharing that on this site is yelling at the wind.
May make folks think twice before applying to YC
Not founders, they are bought into the idea (if you can get into a demo day or other function as an observer, highly recommend), but perhaps employees that fuel the machine and their common shares lottery tickets.
Important to ask yourself, "Am I working for someone who will be a decent person if my time and effort ends up making them wildly wealthy?"
