It was the welcome end to an abnormal condition that very nearly destroyed the area in an overabundance of success. You see, the secret to the Valley’s astounding multiple decade boom is failure. Failure is what fuels and renews this place. Failure is the foundation for innovation.

The valley has always been in danger of drowning in the unwelcome waste products of success too many people, too expensive houses, too much traffic, too little office space and too much money chasing too few startups. Failure is the safety valve, the destructive renewing force that frees up people, ideas and capital and recombines them, creating new revolutions.
Consider how the
A. usually end up with a failure.
B. are subjected to rigid supervision.
C. tend to collapse as a whole.
