Search Results: deep throat

I don't know if I should because going public means I have to be held highly accountable to regulators and shareholders, in exchange for theoretically unlimited funding and less responsibilities lol. I know that for a pre-revenue deep tech startup (or even one with some revenue), it'd be extremely difficult to go IPO prematurely but by merging with SPAC, I can do it much faster and easier. Also at least in Canada, there's 2 stock exchanges where they allow smaller and earlier stage startups to join, with much less requirements than say the main ones in Toronto or Montreal.

I'm fully aware that merging with such a shell company also means they'll have control over aspects of my startup that I'd retain had I not merged, and while I'm against merging and acquisitions generally that's an exception. Only agreeing to do this because most sources of funding are gatekept to more mature startups and/or don't provide that much money, which my startup would need to truly take off. I did consider going to angel investors, but the ones I found required startups to make 10x the investment within 5 years, while only providing at most a few dozen grand.

I can't even pay 1 full time employee with that, let alone a small team of them; realistically, I'd need a small investment in 6 or even 7 figures, so sadly only going IPO prematurely is realistic. The startup I'm in is automation, which includes AI, but also goes beyond it with stuff like robotics, IoT, MR, etc as I'm wise enough to know the generative AI bubble that began in late 2022 is eventually gonna burst by the end of this decade. I'm also fully aware that going public means certain investment firms like Blackrock and Vanguard are gonna try to force pushing their agendas down my throat, which I'm prepared for by not giving a fuck about them.

I chose the Obama presidency.

I remember the day Obama was elected. I was only 14 years old, but I had this inner sense that something was terribly wrong. As a young adolescent, I was naive and never involved in politics, but my gut instinct set off alarms and I knew our nation was in for a world of hurt.

Obama's presidency sparked a new era of aggressive, radical, woke, and socialist movements that rapidly evolved and transformed the United States into the divisive battleground it is today.

Under his so-called leadership, traditional American morals and values were spiraling into a deep decline. I remember "social justice" issues being forced down the throats of people. Opposition to leftist policies and ideologies was met with accusations of "racism" and "bigotry". I felt the Obama administration encouraged and even facilitated this
behavior.

The socio-political divide continued to grow even stronger to where one was even hesitant to voice opposing opinions due to the likelihood of being alienated by friends and even family members with left-leaning views.

Shortly into his presidency, my family faced a lot of financial woes. My family was a stable, middle-class family. My father took a job back in my home state, and my parents had to sell the house. During this time, the housing crisis hit, causing my parents to lose tens of thousands of dollars. While my family was struggling, I remember gas prices soared to around $4 a gallon. Once a prosperous family that was able to eat out at restaurants often, I remember us worried about affording to put food on the table. It was scary times. Now, I don't know if this is entirely Obama's fault. There is speculation that a lot of economic challenges were a result of the Bush era. I cannot confirm either way, but I felt Obama didn't help the situation either.

Bottom line, since the Obama presidency, a lot of bad turn of events occurred, even many years after he left office.

Both are extreme religious nutjobs who freaking want to push their backwards outdated religious beliefs down your throat and control your personal lives.

You do not have the freaking right to push your backwards outdated religious beliefs on other people and control their personal lives. I have a deep hate for both groups!!!
