Let me know what you guys think. I tried to condense the philosophical reasons behind my current startup.


Great news. I think Brex has a great idea. But if anyone can, please do shed some light for me on how they grew so fast ?

I mean, I can see how Bird etc would achieve a 2B valuation fast, they're B2C so you can see them everywhere.

Are they signing up thousands of customers at an astonishing rate or is this funding more related to potential growth ?


Just like Cuba had a right to be communist but the US disagreed and imposed a crushing embargo on the island. Yeah. just like that...

Two wrongs don't make a right. But Russia would never allow Ukraine to be NATO and a launching pad for a Russian invasion.


Just because I was absent for one year it doesn't mean I'm a troll. I have my opinions.


with all due respect. I'm a person. I'm Brazilian. I'm not Russian. It's amazing how dismissive people are of people who have a contrarian opinion.


A Brazilian, how could you possibly know what's really happening on the ground in eastern Europe?

edit: spelling


I've been there.


I bet you support our government


I can understand having a contrary opinion; your opinion is perfectly valid. But how vehemently you're arguing your opinion, along with your long absence from posting, seems a bit suspicious to me.


I just gave you my twitter handle. There is a link to all my social media accounts. Not trying to hide. People like you are the reason the contrarian pragmatic class is already fed up with this hyve murica mentality.

even John Kerry already told Poroshenko to think twice.


Crimea was Russian and voted to join Russia. Illegal wars are what the US wages around the world. Russians are helping the insurgents unoficially because Nuland and that scumbag US ambassador placed a Nazi Junta in power.


1. Crimea was Ukrainian from 1954 until Russia's invasion. 2. The election held after Russia invaded was neither fair nor free. Non-citizens were allowed to vote and militias coerced voting.


At the 1991 referendum, even in Crimea a majority voted for independence. I'm sure that that referendum was a lot less rigged than last year's one.


It's not illegal to be gay in Russia. Although their gay law is backwards. It's a far cry from what you see in the Middle East. It looks more like what you see in Middle USA. Conservative, yes, oppressive and dangerous, not necessarily. Im for LGBT rights, but this topic is overblown.


I live in Texas, I am out and proud as a transgender lesbian, and I've never had any problems. It's not illegal to say it's OK to be gay anywhere in the US, but it is in Russia.

It is oppressive and dangerous.


Not true. I've seen gay people and bars in Russia. You clearly have never been there. Go back to watching MSNBC and screaming MUrica


The people in the east would disagree. There are ethnic tensions. Even VICE shows Nazi ukranian soldiers.


They may happen now in Russia-occupied and war-torn areas and boarding areas, but don't happen on the South that is controlled by government and where Russian-speaking and people of Russian ethnos also live.

Yet, at Donbass and Crimea Ukrainians and Crimean tatars are threatened.

So yes, there are ethnic tensions now, thanks to Russian govt.

So our democratically elected and reelected Parliament is junta and you say you are not a paid commentator.

Ok, you can have your opinion about things you don't know about.


Agree.


Completely agree.
