Orange County basically lacks all this big megacorp atmosphere. Yet despite that, Orange County residents are wealthier overall than Los Angeles residents and slightly less wealthier than Bay Area residents (overall). Why is that? Cause Orange County residents literally survive on running their own businesses here. Lots of small business. Just driving down the freeway you'll see personal cars with company logos for "Cary's Pet Grooming" or "South OC Fitness" or "Student Loan Consultants, LLC). That's why Orange County bros are more chill and laid back. Flexible schedule. Tax deductions. No HR shrews. Straight up eat what you kill mentality.

Literally every corner is the same, like a funhouse mirror of white UMC.

lmfao half the places like that (well the first two anyway) are SAHMs who just got bored and are now wasting their hubby's money to feel important

at any rate marin is very similar to OC except more liberal and less asian. this is some very weird tctp OC fantasy, most of them are soulless MUC yuppies just like any other rich burb. too many asians now though.

it's not a real "small business" in the sense that it's something started from a family loan, money the person saved up, etc. with the goal of producting an immediate profit and being a means to actually make money. they subsist off VC money for many years, and can often get bought out even if they never become remotely profitable

that said, lol@tctp. there are "small businesses" literally everywhere. everywhere from are country to SF has dog grooming people and shit. it's an area that's largely sustained by companies which have branched out from LA, people who were already rich, or the FOB boom centered around irvine.

So the VC's invest this money little by little into the start up technology companies, providing money that is used to build the companies in exchange for big chunks of the ownership of the tech companies. When a tech start up receives an investment from one or more VC firms, it ceases being an independent entity. It is now owned by the VC firms, as well as its founders. But the founders usually give up majority ownership and control over the tech company's strategic decisions.

This produces a weird culture in which innovation and disruption are rhetorically fetishized but practically often eschewed in favor of conformity. VC's, as bizarre as it sounds, have a hard time making money and mainly get money from institutional investors as a sort of lottery ticket. VC firms often have pretty bad returns, but the institutional investors give them money to invest because there is always that chance, however small, that the VC's will stumble onto the next Google or Facebook.

But the vast majority of the time, the VC's don't stumble onto Google or Facebook. They often just put money into tech start ups that are copying something that is already working in another company. This leads to a culture of herd behavior, both culturally and in terms of business practices.

Picture 100X worse and more blind leading the blind for the NYC/MFH VC space trying to emulate SF in a toxic, uncreative environment focused on thievery and shiny UI/UX.

second, orange county has a black population of less than 3 percent. you heard that right: the black population in orange county is less than 3 percent. Maybe even less than 2 percent. There are literally no black people here in orange county. Whereas in los angeles county, blacks control entire towns and cities.

Thirdly, the landlords and building owners in orange county aren't Jewish. The Irvine Company, the largest developer here, isn't run by kikes. Los Angeles jews basically run all of los angeles real estate.

Fourth, there is no hollywood here. Orange County residents prefer to go to bike trails, surf the beach, walk outside… anything rather than being at home getting deceived by the (((media))).

Lastly, orange county has a lot of white people who seem like they are from the midwest/ the south. They are extremely conservative (although they are a bit lax on hispanic immigration but absolutely hate muslim immigration).
