I'd prefer to see more of them do so, personally. That said, to watch Tan wading into a local fistfight about school curriculum and housing zoning and whatnot in the age of ICE abduction, targetted political prosecution and wanton macroeconomic regulatory chaos seems... frustrating.

I mean, I kinda agree with him about most of the centrist stuff. But really, Gary? This is what you need to be spending your money and time on?

View on HN

Garry seems motivated by being against a wealth tax and this is also likely the reason other ultra rich people will donate to his dark money fund:

Garry is chummy with musk and trump. His motivation here is to protect the pedophile class.

I wouldn't even be surprised at this point. Seems like the files will unironically unravel 90% of the elite class at this rate.

What an absolute pathetic hill to die on. You have the riches to fund entire industries, explore the whole world or even beyond, to please any hedonistic pleasure you have... but many chose to do one of the 3 unthinkable things in modern humanity.

Wow. So it's not even good enough that he agrees with you. You demand that he also prioritizes in the same order as you?

I dunno about "demand". But sure, I think most of us would prefer people prioritize like we do. And in particular many of us would view this kind of hobby project as tone deaf and tell people about that in public.

My freedom to tell Tan (or you) that he's being an idiot stems from the same place as his freedom to spend his own money on what he wants.
