  • People like Brian Thompson enjoy(ed) a life of care free luxury and comfort because people have been abiding by societal norms…the social contract. Eventually, those care free days are going to be a distant memory and “corpos” are going to need armed security 24/7 like every cyberpunk novel ever has predicted.

    There is one truth about Americans. You do not want them to agree that you are the baddie they should focus on.








  • This might be a controversial take but, I don’t think seven figure net worth qualifies as rich anymore. I am going to guess the comfort zone now is in the mid eight figures. Seven figures doesn’t guarantee that you won’t have to work until you die. All it takes are a few health issues and the US healthcare system will drain your life’s savings.

    SOURCE: In US. Survived heart surgery and cancer. What scared me the most was not dying, it was leaving my wife in financial ruin.




  • Thank you! I genuinely appreciate the gesture, but we are not a consumer products company. We offer highly specialized optimization services to companies that are dependent on enterprise spanning applications. The example I like to use is the Amazon shopping cart. If Amazon’s shopping cart becomes sluggish or starts dropping items, the company stands to lose millions of dollars per hour. We make sure that the cart, and everything the cart depends on, is working at peak efficiency.

    EDIT: If you consume electricity in a major American metropolitan city, odds are pretty good that you are interfacing with our work.





  • Thank you but I need to reiterate that I do not own or start the company. I am an employee serving the role of Chief Executive Officer. The ownership scheme was discussed and voted on by the then shareholders (myself included).

    This strategy makes business sense. We are a small, boutique firm that competes directly with some of the biggest companies in the world. By offering a stake in the company we are able to hire top talent away from the big guys and we can protect ourselves from poachers.
