    I am not assuming anything. I made a suggestion, nothing else. They're free to do nothing if they feel like they already did enough. You're assuming I'm assuming , which goes again…

    I don't see anything patronizing or showing superiority in what I wrote. I am saying this as a peer, not as a superior. It's kinda weird to expect people not to make mistakes such …

    My free funds are currently 100% dedicated to helping Ukraine and will be until Russia falls back to 1991 borders.

    Eh... Was it really that hard to guess what they're gonna do with it? How long ago was that? It's not like their abuse of [foreign] workers is anything new.

    > Investors losing their skin? That's all risk/reward. They took big risk for big reward but lost. No, it's not OK and it's not all risk/reward. The risk is whether the product can…

    I'm usually sending around $500-$1000 once every 2-3 months (per contractor - I work with multiple).
