@anildash you are absolutely presenting them as equivalent.
Someone who has worked at the VA for 20 years, doing the job across 3+ administrations, has absolutely NOTHING in common with some 'founder' joining up as an 'adviser' to grandstand proudly alongside a man who gives Nazi salutes and spouts Nazi ideologies.
Or are you claiming that people making $75k pre-tax can afford just give up all their income, healthcare, and hope of retirement?
