He also runs a tech repair shop in New York, I could see him being in a lot of tech stuff you're seeing

Formerly New York, now Texas.

Oof I need to catch up a bit then, when did that happen?

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

A year or two ago I think. He sold it off and opened a new shop in Texas after becoming sick and tired of dealing with red tape in NYC, paying fees and taxes etc.

Yeah this is pretty much him. Sounds great at first glance but if you spend any time with him he's just another techbro libertarian that thinks he's saving the world. His content is miserable sensationalism that leans so hard on the negative that I genuinely get depressed watching it now. I can't take anything he says at face value, it all feels cynical or coded libertarianist nonsense now.

agreed. big fan of his work on right-to-repair, but find his libertarian pov tiresome.

How is Texas an improvement though

[-] braxy29@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

supposedly we're super business/small business friendly. not a business owner, but i expect there are significantly fewer fees and very significantly lower taxes for someone doing business here compared to new york. also a lot less regulation.

it's the same reason a lot of big businesses come here.
