I don’t think it’s fair to say he’s just looking out for his self interest here. If you read his post, he’s not advocating for or against the tax bill, just talking about this one particular term that affects startups.
- pcl 9y agoIt’s a follow-up to a post from the other day that was strongly against the bill. EDIT: here’s the older story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15686442 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15686442
- karthikb 9y agoThe post explicitly says: "This means that the Senate has now made the tax reform bill a win for those who work in startups instead of a loss." Not the provision about options - "the bill." So he's clearly saying that the bill as a whole is better for startup employees than the current system. GP point is that the bill may now be better from one single perspective but on the whole is still much worse than what we have today due to other issues.
