Stripe donates $19,999 to “No on Prop C”, avoiding ethics disclosures

> Proposition C, called Our City Our Home on the November 8, 2018 San Francisco ballot would generate $300 million per year to address San Francisco's homelessness crisis by increasing the business tax on San Francisco's wealthiest corporations.

> Only businesses making over $50 million a year would be affected, and their first $50 million in revenue is exempt. Their tax rates would increase between 0.175 and 0.69 percent, depending on the type of business. (Compare that to Prop D, which will increase the tax on large cannabis businesses by 5%!)

ETA: Prop C would add a 0.175%-0.325% tax to large companies, which would go to: administering the taxes, permanent housing (short-term rental subsidies, construction/acquisition of apartment buildings for the homeless, operation of buildings for very low income households), homeless shelter expenditures, homelessness prevention expenditures, mental health expenditures for the homeless.

If you are a business that depends on a given payment processor, when they suddenly stop processing your payments and/or hold back funds without warning, it can be a deathblow if you're bootstrapping. I wouldn't be so cavalier when you're talking about taking away people's livelihoods, especially because these things often happen without explanation or evidence of clear violations of TOS by the merchant.
