Austin, this was so beautiful and inspiring of you to bring our attention to this which I hope will inspire any and all in public service. Speaking of which, a reminder that my passion is the development of simple tech able to catalyze moral courage at scale, hoping to have the privilege of helping you in tapping the rapidly emerging Left-right coalition to Tax The Rich , and that we can agree on the best strategy to do that. For now, here's some more inspiration:

The GOOD NEWS: this is now more feasible than since the 30s and 1946. and I have 10 arguments to prove it. I just want to offer some signficant help to you major players including fundraising, new NVDA tech that can CATALYZE MORAL COURAGE AT SCALE

Thank you for this glowing tribute to, and appreciation of, an American patriot, whose loyalty was to his country and not to parties or personalities.

It's unfortunate that his audience didn't share those attributes.
