Millionaires have done a great job of fixing America! No doubt they will fix San Francisco even more than they already have.

The overwhelming majority of Americans are sick and tired of millionaires. I don't think it's a divisive topic in most circles.

If you prefer 'flamewar topic' we can use that label instead; the point is that you clearly broke HN's rules, and more than one of them. Please don't.

To be fair, the current elected representatives have not been doing such a great job. I'm not convinced this group of millionaires is the answer, but more civic engagement is generally a good thing.

At least as long as they don't use their mountains of cash to put their thumbs on the scales. Then again, mountains of cash is largely what politics is about these days, unfortunately.

More civic engagement from the general population is definitely a good thing.

More civic engagement from the capitalist ruling class? Not sure I agree with you on that one.

Exactly! Let's not get involved. The politicians are doing a bang-up job. No need for improvement.

Unsubstantive to you I guess.

Yes, a certain amount of interpretation is inevitable, but it's not as if these calls are random. The comment was snarky, informationless, and flamebaity - we're trying to avoid that here.
