@joelvanderwerf For sure! I'm not going to say I'm a Costco fan just yet, but I definitely appreciate it. I've been shopping there since 2019 and I've seen their product selection improve significantly, with more organic, vegan and local options. I still go to Rainbow, but it's now maybe an even split.
@inthehands This is a good time for anyone that has ever paid social security and medicare taxes to download their current social security statement and full earnings record, just in case.
@skinnylatte No lie. I moved to Switzerland to study on a student visa at 18. Of my non-European foreign peers, perhaps 10% were able to remain there after their studies. The writing was on the wall from day one. Few made the voluntary choice to leave, like I did.
@skinnylatte The first year we had Luna, we spent in the low five figures on vet care. Ever since then I happily pay for my vet insurance, but I sometimes wonder what would happen if I couldn't afford it some reason. Scary.
I hope that its primary shareholder, the Proton Foundation, and its directors, Antonio Gambardella (Director at the Fondation Genevoise pour l’Innovation Technologique), Tim Berners-Lee, Dingchao Lu, and Carissa Véliz Perales exercise their fiduciary duty before Andy digs Proton into a hole. His simplistic political opinions actively harm the foundation's mission and statutory purpose.
Also worth noting that the Andy fellow doesn't even have full signing authority at Proton AG and cannot sign documents or agreements without a signature from another authorized signatory, so that's good. There's adequate oversight.
I'm disappointed to see @protonprivacy co-founder and CEO Andy Yen shortsightedly praising the incoming US administration for “standing up for the little guys”.
That said, I am glad that Proton AG's primary shareholder is now a Swiss non-profit foundation, which means the Swiss Confederation and Geneva can intervene if the foundation improperly moves away from its statutory purpose.
TL;DR: Proton CEO may be shortsighted, but the structure of Proton gives me hope that the Geneva and Swiss confederation can intervene if he decides to go full Musk.
