I was robbed at gunpoint with an assault rifle in San Francisco.
Within hours, @SFPD caught the criminals 🙌
Within months, the gunman was diverted and released without charge "in the interests of justice" 🤦♂️
Within a year, "mayor" @LondonBreed was hanging out with the gunman

- Replying to @einarvollset @SFPD and @LondonBreedThe only explanation I got from the DA's office was it was "in the interests of justice". Apparently if you claim to be a drug addict in SF, it's a free pass to commit crimes.
- “Tier 1” VC firms is the biggest psyop going in Silicon Valley. I see so many young founders falling for this shit. It’s marketing. The things to optimize for in a fundraise are control, dilution, and the individual person you will be working with at the firm, in that order.
- Replying to @AustenThe 1% avoid a lot of "income" though. If you look at net worth generated vs taxes paid, it's a different story. And yes, I know taxing unrealized gains is not a good idea.

- YC is one of the greatest businesses of our time. This week AirBnB ($ABNB) and DoorDash ($DASH) went public. I don't think this is the last time 2 YC companies will go public in the space of a week.
- Replying to @MatthewBerman @SFPD and @LondonBreedDiverted means they decide not to pursue a criminal case and put you into a program of some kind instead.
