They had me right up until the phrase entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Then it struck me. (again)

That ecosytem is polluted on so many levels it is unsuitable for any higher forms of life. It's just plain toxic. A condition which can be shown to worsen with each passing day, secret policy change, survey, fee streamlining, seller update, major [failed] project etc etc ad nauseum...

Not only that but these curious incidents are happening at increasing amplitude and frequency. Suggest throwing a few cartesian coordinates up on a chart, assigning nominal vertical value to events Vs time. Further separations between events can be color coded for PR, policies, glitches etc. You'll see.

Meanwhile, we have other data which follows an inverse curve.

Conclusion: things may not be so rosy behind the stained and sleazy pink curtain.

The only organisms which can exist in such an environment are likely to be mutants of one form or another. The Mad Max Thunderdome movie comes to mind. Bartertown. lmao
