    One good thing about Trump: he has made it easier to explain the situation in prewar Germany to my 7 yo son.

        People in tech aren't doing as much here as they could be. A Trump essay or RFS could do a lot. So could lifting the HN politics ban.

        4. Anybody living in Palo Alto, on 6-fig income and 7-fig stock/real estate, and who thinks he's in pre-WWII, is clinically insane

        1. This is almost insulting. Pre-WWII was a place where people were starving to death on the streets, buckets of $$$ didn't buy bread

        How do we help society improve so it has no need of demagogues? Snark and labels seem ineffectual. Any smart startups willing to try?
