i canīt remember that there have been a lot of people in the good old times just offering server administration (not hosting) today I know so many that have problems to find more employees as they have so much work to do.

designers, text-providers, CSS -specialists, media-buyers, traffic analysts and and and... all new jobs that did not exist in the "good old times".



and this is exactly what happens when people are too stupid to admit that they are to blame for their own misfortune. these people simply cannot and do not want to admit that once in their lives the virgin came to the child and talked themselves into believing that it is solely due to their own ability.
it's like a lottery winner claiming he has the talent to know the right numbers.

when happiness leaves such people they are helpless and look for guilty ones. people who look or think differently are then the most popular goals - especially if you don't face them directly and have to tell them in the face.

it hurts so much when i have to listen to these people explain the world economy or the stock market volatility, i wonder how they managed to catch the money when it was raining money.

with this basic knowledge below zero, it can't be possible to exist in a world where there are many clever and educated people. if that were the case, we wouldn't need any education at all and just dream the reality the way we want it.

People are not wrong when they note the impact of macro events, but anyone who believes they are an entrepreneur needs to work on pivoting when the times call for it.

When macro events come together in a perfect storm that, like you said, feels kinda like winning the lottery, can you really blame anyone, even people self-aware enough to know it was not just their genius for picking lottery numbers, for being disappointed when it gets harder to make the needle move?
