| Chrkeller said: Big business don't start big, so their creation was risky because they were small business at one point. Nvidia didn't open up worth a trillion dollars.  I think dropping out of college and putting one's own money on the table via a start-up absolutely is risky as ****. I wouldn't do it, just like most others. Bill took a gamble, it paid off. Good for him. I don't see the point in being jealous because he has stones I do not. I tip my hat to him.  |
Which I didn't say that they did.
I wouldn't treat Microsoft in 1975, the same way I do in 2025. They have much more power and influence, and they have much less risk today. I think they should pay be willing to pay back what society has supported them to have. Particularly so other people can make similar "risks".
It's only a risk, if there's something to lose. What do you think he would have lost if it didn't work out? And why do you think that?
