It's depressing this receives this much attention on hacker news.

An extremely wealthy person making an imperative to less wealthy people to "ignore partisan politics and focus on results!"

To this person I would ask... who had the capacity, the agency, the capital, the resources, (and given this article, presumably according to them, THE VISION) this entire time? You did. So rather than make an imperative to everyone with less to "get back on the horse" and "put aside petty differences"– why don't you examine the decisions you made, and examine the systems you were party to, which led to this colossal failure.

"I’m with Nicholas Stern when he says that capitalism is how we take care of people we don’t know"... Uhhhhh people you don't know are dying everywhere meanwhile speculative finance i.e. markets i.e. your entire business is doing great. Fuck off
