So I am reading the book “The Paypal Wars” right now on my Kindle. I am almost done with the book but I came across an awesome quote from Peter Thiel in the book about american politics that still rings so true today, and especially with whats been going on in the current environment. To put it in context, Thiel is giving one of his many talks just after the company has been acquired by eBay. He is talking about the legal and political stuggles Paypal has had to overcome in this part of the speech.
“Most of the conservatives in DC dont understand we are in a changing world, that the world is becoming more interconnected and complicated. But the liberals are even worse- they always want to rely on regulation to make things better. Neither side is asking the right questions regarding the pressin needs of the day
Doesn’t this sound all too familiar with the two parties today? Conservatives always trying to live in the past and liberals always trying to regulate and expand government. When will the independents finally say “enough is enough.”
