Yeah, it's probably going to be really difficult. May as well not even bother trying. Best to just pick holes in it and offer up no constructive criticism. Wel

  He's got some very valid criticisms, 10k people who have £250k of credit to spare for 2 years is an extremely small subset of people. This is a startup community, if you're going to get prickly when someone points out the obvious holes, you're in the wrong place.

  This is like complaining about people who tell kids Santa isn't real. Presumably the people behind the website are adults. They should be ready to accept criticism. Maybe they'll find a way around these problems, maybe they won't. But there's no reason that we should avoid criticism because someone somewhere might not like it.

  Oh come on. This article might as well have read "We'll solve world hunger! By signing up random strangers on the Interweb! And stop war!" It was naieve, simpleminded, baseless drivel, and he called them on it. Cynicism not required.

    Well, the literal bottom line on the page is "This leaves $1-1.5 Billion to invest in the most extraordinary series of civil expenditures ever put forward" soon after a major bullet point of "universal healthcare". Hey, if some group wants to create their socialist utopia by building a new town devoted to that cause, great. That's a much better plan that the current one of confiscating my wealth, via police powers, for their lofty and ill-fated goals. I'll be watching with great interest. (Don't get me wrong: I also watch, with more interest, the similar yet opposing plans of hardcore libertarians.)
