And let not your thoughts be drawn into capitulation of secular pleasure, for lust begets lust, as does envy, sloth, and the rest.
For from “pleasure” can come sadness, and from sadness can come anger. And you will receive nothing in perpetuity, rather the admonishment from on high and the praise from its assailants.
But from fulfillment comes only itself and in perpetuity a kingdom; let the pleasure be of god in admiration for his creation. - LE
I'm going to use this account to share what I'm learning building it from zero. The wins, the parts I got wrong, and an honest read on where our region is headed.
If you care about keeping talent and jobs in Ventura County, I'd like you along for it.
I left a tech career to start a nonprofit in a county that's losing people.
Ventura County is a net exporter of its own talent. We train people here, then watch them leave for Los Angeles or the Bay Area because there's nothing structured to keep them building at home.
So the problem was never the people. It was the missing infrastructure around them.
That's why I started Startup Ventura, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit startup accelerator serving Ventura County. The whole point is to give early founders a real runway to build here instead of leaving.

@jasonalco I know a lot of people grow there following by engaging with popular creators in the comments writing funny parody, witty remarks, or valuable insight (whatever you're going for). Also getting your check is important as far as post/comment visibility goes
@UxGsol 7 men have 7 wives (7x7=49 wives)
Each man (7) and each wife (49) have 7 children (56x7= 392)
Total people: 7 men + 49 wives + 392 children = 448
BUT 90% were eliminated so the answer is 44
