Probably you forgot to conclude with “thank you for your attention to this matter” - but in capital letters.

Congrats! Giving meritocratic American entrepreneurs a shot has generated the most prosperity in history. Under the warmth of collectivism in communism, the commissars shoot you.

This article sets a new bar on how an idea that can be expressed in a paragraph can be tortured into a longer piece.

I admire and genuinely believe in the great work you've done over the years and the exceptional founders you'll invest in the future.

But this America-first approach is delusional and outdated.

It's noise that covers the hard-to-accept reality of a declining empire.

The problem isn't China, this finger-pointing is a cheap tactic.

The problem of America is America.

"we raised over 18% of all venture capital dollars allocated in the United States in 2025."

That is just crazy, congrats!

A $15B raise demands a strong why. Excited to read Ben's thinking behind this move.

because you want 2% management fees and don’t to pay your company employees…

Because you can….and because you get fees on capital commitments, which makes you further rich, and pays all your people. Or, are you the pre-AH tech rap listener of faith and justice to mankind? Are you worthy?

Giving shot to one who is trying to do things larger than themselves is a great thing.
