| Everything about this screams inauthentic and produced by some
| think-tank or policy group. Not just the names of these
| "organizations", but the quality of the website and the tone of
| the messaging. I _highly_ doubt a bunch of actual disparate
| millionaires got together and organically produced this.

| I would love to know who is actually responsible for this. I
| sense it is probably a small handful of people who make these
| kinds of groups for a living.
