Hacker news should be renamed to Peasant news. Just how the reality is. Not really new but didn't expect mainstream media to write about the reality of it. Guess a rare one. Personally I will never go for an investor in a pseudo-economic market which we live in. It's like begging to become a new age peasant.
You'll have more freedom living as a wildling in the woods or become a small-scale farmer. Oh right you need that latest hi-tech gadget which they use to enslave your mind. Well enjoy it.
