Comment on What if Obama gave Y Combinator 40 Billion Dollarsparent

Please do not try to "cook up" small start ups. It's better people juice their own ingenuity on their own time, when they have something big at stake.

I grew up in a communist country and I remember how the state gave allowances to housewives in order to invigorate women's businesses. It didn't turn out that well; most women, like most men, are not interested in the ungodly effort and the labor of love that goes into enterprising.

[Edit: specifically, there came up a cottage industry of document fixers who could get you bankruptcy documents so you get to keep the federal investment AND get compensation. People looted the fund.]

Don't worry, the scenario is a hypothetical one, to put it mildly.
