OK, I rarely comment here anymore, but your post caught my eye so I spent a few mins checking out the site. Here are my honest thoughts: 1. I really admire you posting here looking…

”They haven’t made an argument as to why we should do that just for them…” What “we”? They’ve already raised billions, and I suspect they’re about to succeed at raising tens of bil…
