So, thats very interesting, presumably she didnt fry up her own chips at home, though.. LOL.
Thats good because in the beginning part I watched, Sinclair seemed like he had an annoying personality.
I've seen a lot of these enterpreneur types who want other people to finance their schemes, oftn they end up ripping large numbers of people off for money. So during that time I made a vow to myself that I was not going to be drawn into their movies nomatter what they said or did, and in retrospect it was a very good decision. During the late 90s I would get solicited by people who wanted me basically to give them my ideas for free every couple of days. I was on all sorts of RFP lists so I guess I asked for it. It was madness. Up until around 1997 the web was a fun cool business and then all these sleazy multimedia people flooded in all trying to make a quick buck, milking it for all it was worth. I could tell you entertaining stories about some of the more colorful ones. "Net slaves" and "Burn Rate" are two good books about that period that show how many people (countless) got ripped off by these wild eyed dreamer types and their often sketchy "startups".
By 1999 it seems that most f the low hanging fruit firm ideas had been done or were being done and the later enterpreneuers were flailing for good ideas, and coming up empty.
A lot of the Internet firms were like something out of the Middle Ages with all sorts of back stabbing and court intrigue between the leadership people, . Some businesses exploded like comets, burning brightly but then burning out, burning through their investors money in short periods of time and then suddenly one day, being "liquidated" with employees checks bouncing and computer equipment being auctioned off. One couple I knew had their firm fold almost overnight shortly after they found out she was pregnant and she had to have her baby uninsured which was really costly. They never got repaid.
During that period, in the SF Bay Area if you had cash to buy them, all sorts of deals were to be had at auction on fancy high tech chairs and other office equipment, and servers..
Seems like there is a similar flow of people towards New York and its Silicon Alley, judging by how many trend-obsessed people I know of whom have been getting apartments in New York, but maybe its just the people with the money taking advantage of a slight dip in prices due to coronavirus to buy 'pied a' terre' apartments there?
Its still risky to live there because its literally almost impossible to do your daily business there without coming into close physical proximity with thousands of people a day. At least it was last time I was there, around a year ago. There are far fewer people on the stret today, I hear and see. Kind of like a ghost town..
This is why the whole idea of tracking people and the European vaccine passport seems totally futile and a waste of time. (one with scary people and their creepy pet projects, like ID2020 involved in it. See

They were already trying to execute a huge power grab and no doubt were planning extensively in advance to use the next pandemic to force a kind of digital totalitarianism on society, totally against peoples wishes. Their "Great Reset" should be seen in the context of the TISA's global power grab - a laundry list of bad, voter-rejected changes and baggage trying to hitch itself to the corona virus so it can be forced on people as part of the emergency response. The technocrats cheerleading neoliberalism are the type that
fetishize emergencies and especially emergency power (thats a diagnostic sign of fascism) and no doubt would invent their own emergencies if none came up they could take advantage of when they wanted one. Exactly the
very last kind of people you would ever want in charge in any real emergency and the kind
least likely to behave responsively.
