This is Going to Be. Not on Substack

This is going to be BIG.

Almost 20 years ago, sometime after Fred Wilson started writing and just before Brad Feld jumped in, I started “blogging”.

@TBPInvictus here: Contrary to 40+ years and counting of “trickle down” narrative, the reality is that the gap between the 1% and everyone else (let’s say the bottom 90%) has never been wider.
