good to see Project Include standing up. now is a good time to stand up as an organization CEO, director, investor and declare where you stand. It could save your company lots of money down the road white-washing your history if Trump implements only part of the things he says he will. Ask the likes of Volkswagen & Daimler how they like their roots.

And don't tell me companies don't need to have an opinion. That was true 100 years ago not in the age of TTIP. But it could be that considering Thiel's investment portfolio that he does want actually more war. Who is the biggest spender right now in Cyber? (hint it's not just crappy IoT devices). Defense applications are way more expensive and proftable to build than consumer apps. Especially in times of fear.

Companies are people, so please YES do take a side and don't be a coward CEO hiding behind "it's politics therefore we should not speak of it at work".

I wish YC would have followed the example and I'm still waiting from S.Altman to say something on twitter that doesn't sound like an appalling excuse!
