We MUST not equate criticism of China's government with anti-Asian racism.

Biden should call out and denounce anti-Asian racism. All our leaders should. But criticizing China's government is perfectly OK.
I've been a harsh critic of the idea that criticism of Israel is inherently anti-Semitic.

We have to apply the exact same standard to China.

Governments are not races.

Biden, in fact, has been very good about calling out anti-Asian racism.

The U.S.' incompetence at handling coronavirus doesn't make me very confident about our ability to, say, fight a major war. Not to mention coping with climate change.
I mean, yes, it's not helpful to just wring one's hands and wail that we live in a failed state and blah blah blah.

But we really have screwed things up quite badly, and it should be a wake-up call that we need to rebuild our competence as a nation.

Making excuses ("Other countries screwed up too!") doesn't do a damn thing to rebuild our competence as a nation.

Only electing more serious, competent leaders and engaging in deep institutional reforms will do that.

A depressing precedent: Washington state, the first to get infected, has never really managed to bend its curve. It looked like infections were falling, but...nope. Bounced right back up.

New Jersey has been on a plateau for more than 3 weeks. The state is "locked down", yet it gets a steady 3000-4000 infections per day with no sign of decrease.

California has a low case growth rate, but has still been plateaued for more than 3 weeks, with about 900 new cases every day. No sign of curve-bending.

1/Although Marc's post has been generally well-received (as it ought to be), I've noticed some scattered criticism along the lines of "you're a VC, what do you build, it's not like the world needs another video chat app", etc etc.
2/First of all, the "Silicon Valley is useless" meme is looking mighty stale in a coronavirus shutdown world where Zoom is letting millions of people work from home and Amazon and delivery apps are a lifeline for tens of millions to get daily necessities.
3/But beyond that, I don't think people have a great conception of what VCs actually do.

We think of VCs as these powerful, rich moneymen, when in fact they are small potatoes in the world of finance...
