@Rewkang 2009 was a bailout era too though not sure the mandate is that different now just the company size
@Rewkang My friend, it's sad but true that large companies disrupt small ones; small businesses have to stand up for themselves.
@Rewkang AI. Hardware. Robotics. Rare earths. All intertwined and all have to accelerate in the USA.
@Rewkang the cynical read: bailouts for friends, sba loans for strangers. but if you're building defense-adjacent or infra-critical the check-writing mood is real
@Rewkang That's the first honest take on this cycle I've seen. Everyone's still modeling risk like 2014, but the government is now the LP, the customer, and the regulator rolled into one. The real edge isn't just building—it's being too embedded in a priority sector to fail.
