OP-ED: I Don’t Get Why People Are Making All These Startups That Don’t Benefit Me Personally

It’s just straight dumb.

I’m like, sitting right here, and these people are making startups that don’t even have anything to do with me. Like, I can’t see a reason why they would do that.

Basically this is how I see it: you could either make a startup that improves my life, or you could make a startup that doesn’t improve my life. It’s a startup either way, so it’s kind of just selfish to choose the one that doesn’t benefit me personally.

I mean, am I wrong? Is it unreasonable to think that people should choose to help others when it doesn’t even make a difference for them? Like, I’m not saying that every action that every person takes should be working toward something that benefits me… but shouldn’t it?

I feel like I’m not asking too much. Like, I’m not saying that it’s a dick move to make a startup that doesn’t even benefit me, but isn’t it?

I mean tell me if I’m off-base, but like I’m pretty sure that the only thing “off” is these startups. It's like, are you sure that’s a startup? Seems more like a shutdown, because that’s how I feel surrounded by all these new businesses that neglect and insult me. These "entrepreneurs" should be damn ashamed.
