Millionaires have done a great job of fixing America! No doubt they will fix San Francisco even more than they already have.

- UberFly 3y agoExactly! Let's not get involved. The politicians are doing a bang-up job. No need for improvement.

- UberFly 3y agoUnsubstantive to you I guess.
- dang 3y agoYes, a certain amount of interpretation is inevitable, but it's not as if these calls are random. The comment was snarky, informationless, and flamebaity - we're trying to avoid that here. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and taking the intended spirit of the site more to heart, we'd be grateful.
- kelnos 3y agoTo be fair, the current elected representatives have not been doing such a great job. I'm not convinced this group of millionaires is the answer, but more civic engagement is generally a good thing. At least as long as they don't use their mountains of cash to put their thumbs on the scales. Then again, mountains of cash is largely what politics is about these days, unfortunately.
- jjj123 3y agoMore civic engagement from the general population is definitely a good thing. More civic engagement from the capitalist ruling class? Not sure I agree with you on that one.

- kevmo 3y agoThe overwhelming majority of Americans are sick and tired of millionaires. I don't think it's a divisive topic in most circles.
- dang 3y agoIf you prefer 'flamewar topic' we can use that label instead; the point is that you clearly broke HN's rules, and more than one of them. Please don't.
