I agree with that. Thanks for your patience, and for taking my comment the right way.

The "cure" is worse than the disease. But sure, 95% crypto projects give the 5% a bad name, and that's not fair.

The story goes that while the Americans spent billions putting thrusters on their tortoises, the Russians simply duct-taped ordinary pencils on the their tortoises, making them unflippable.

Warning: Auto-playing video! (Thought I had that turned off in Firefox, but looks like I had done that just on Youtube. At full volume, it gave me quite a jolt)

Just a heads up (in case you're able to let the founder know) that the "Fundraise" and "Pledge" buttons on that page lead to 'page not found' error. "Give monthly" button works though.

I agree that extremists of all stripes are troublesome for various reasons. The sibling comment by `odo1242` already answers the y-axis question. I want to note that these are idealizations, and may not perfectly map to the parties labeling themselves as such.

In the political alignment chart, authoritarianism falls on y axis, whereas left/right is x axis. This explains why you find people from both sides supporting it. They're essentially the same side as far as this topic is concerned.

My life goal that I can't work on yet is to run vet clinics as a non-profit in locations where private equity has a monopoly and are in extraction mode. With operational excellence, I think they can be out-competed by running a cost effective practice, so people don't have to decide between putting their pet down prematurely, and spending $5k per night (yes, that happened to my friend in San Francisco. $5k/night is not an exaggeration).
The predatory businesses are able to do the extraction only because of the practical monopoly they have in a neighborhood.
I believe the ops can be open sourced and replicated franchise style. And vets, who originally get into the career because they love animals will be drawn to it, and they have bills to pay, but that can be taken care of with a reasonable payment structure.
I hope someone else does this so I don't have to. But I think I have to at some point. I'd also love to hear if this is a dumb idea.
