"what founders or entrepreneurial ecosystems will be able to survive this? hell, what corner store in a rising neighborhood could?"

None. And that's by design. We have stop thinking that we're dealing with stupid/misguided people, and understand that the "fundamental" change some politician was banging on about over a decade is well underway.

Redistribution of wealth, an official class of enemies, loss of private property rights, a spirit of collectivism (We're all in this together to fight covid/climate change!)...it's happening now, just as it happened in Europe over a century ago.

Add to that some really sketchy elections and purposeful demoralization campaigns (Your son is actually your daughter. Affirm "them", bigot!) and, well, buckle up...it's going to be a very interesting decade.

Resist. Nonvioletly (greetings, federales!). You have nothing to lose if this goes down.
