What a joke
- falcor84 6mo agoWhat exactly is the joke? These individuals have a lot of interests in play that might not coincide with those of the US public, but it seems to me that they are all very experienced and knowledgeable. > The following individuals have been appointed: > Marc Andreessen, Sergey Brin, Safra Catz, Michael Dell, Jacob DeWitte, Fred Ehrsam, Larry Ellison, David Friedberg, Jensen Huang, John Martinis, Bob Mumgaard, Lisa Su, Mark Zuckerberg

- falcor84 6mo agoAh, well, that is an issue, but not one that I'm laughing about. This is the natural outcome of the Citizens United decision.

- jfengel 6mo agoAre any of them scientists? I don't recognize all of the names, but of those I do, every single one is a tech magnate. Most of them had at best one technological idea 30 years ago, and has been running the business every since. Googling the others turns up exclusively "investors". None of them appear to know anything about science. There's room for technologists on the science advisory council, but surely at least somebody in the room should know something about chemistry, biology, etc.
