> If you assume Hashimotos net worth is one billion dollars, a $400k donation is equivalent to a $400 donation if your net worth is one million dollars.
1. Net worth is significantly less than that (taxes + heavy philanthropy)
2. $400K donation is orders (plural) of magnitude off our actual philanthropic giving in total. This is just one donation.
While we have you here, I would like to say thanks, I disagree with you on a bunch of stuff in terms of opinions, perhaps less than I would expect, but I appreciate people who can and do put effort in supporting things they care about. And building things one can just feel good about, rather than always chasing a financial end game.
I am personally just tired of it, and it's brilliant to see someone thriving outside of the zone to working for work's sake. Even if the realities are different.
Hope we had more people like you whom we all could disagree with but mutually respect.
Cheers to a better future. (hope it wasn't too much waxing poetic but I feel like we are just too damn trapped in this tech bubble to value good moments these days)
