I understand your unpopular opinion. But here is another unpopular opinion. Behind every for-profit business, and a out-of-touch with reality hedge-fund billionaire -- are the people who actually get shit done. And those people, who get shit done - are humans. And while layoffs suck, and it's inevitable they will happen, the distinction will always be between humane approach and greedy-billionaire approach. This letter, if it's real, is written from a very very very high tree, by someone who belongs to 1% (or even less) of society in terms of the amount of money he makes. And this out-of-touch with reality, hedge-fund billionaire - is not longer seeing anything humane in humans. For him, humans, are an expense in his ledger. The same way as let's say groceries. </unpopular-opinion>

> This letter, if it's real Just to call out that this is very real. It’s from the tcifund domain itself and there’s a previous letter written in November[1] where they share the same sentiments.

>And this out-of-touch with reality, hedge-fund billionaire - is not longer seeing anything humane in humans. Yes, his position requires him to distill all the complexities of dealing with masses of humans down to one metric, P&L. I don't think thats an opinion, it's a fact about his role in the larger machine.
