These are fair points, yet the most prominent names attached to this fund are also pretty active participants in the national political conversation (J.D. Vance, Bezos, Buffet). Vance, who is leading this, is famous for moving back to his home region, beleaguered Appalachia, on mostly altruistic terms. Bezos has been targeted with tweets from the president suggesting a thirst for brute force regulations on Amazon and WaPo for nakedly political reasons. I don't think it's naive to posit that altruism and a concern for the political order are at play here. This group of people suggests to me that they're realizing that having so much of our economy concentrated in a few states is a political vulnerability that can be easily exploited by a demagogue.
