Hashimoto did more valuable work than you and then he is in position to do more impact wherever he pleases.
>>I donated $6000 to a halfway house last year and that doesn’t even come close to covering a single bed for a year. If I was a billionaire I could have built an entire halfway house.
We need some mechanism to select people who makes the choice. Popularity/lying contest (politics) ain't it. People making money conducting honest business is the best mechanism we have.
Why would I believe for one moment that someone who is successful at selling widgets should be deciding what resources to allocate to a homeless shelter?
I for one am glad that "let's just all follow bluecalm's hackernews comments" isn't how we select people who make "the choice".
