> We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work

That’s not a stab at fathers. It’s a stab at the societal norms that force single mothers to work double shifts just to support their family. They are purporting that this is due to the fact that our society is patriarchal (run by men - which it is). Whether they’re right or wrong it’s not a dig at traditional dads.

They’re attacking the societal norms that a straight cis mom and straight cis dad are the only foundational units for a legitimate family.

How would an eager startup person get funded to build something that competes with TurboTax? How will you bring novel value to the industry at this point?

A monopolized industry is also intentionally difficult to enter. It’s not just about buying existing competitors it’s about also making it as hard as possible to enter.

So even when some startup manages to get funding and deploy a viable product, they’re immediately on the radar for acquisition for monopolists if they weren’t before going to production.

TurboTax has also lobbied to affect US law in their favor. They’re a scumbag organization who makes an excellent product.
