Everywhere you look, it's large investors owning sometimes hundreds of properties, and then writing op-eds in newspapers as if they are just a struggling couple, renting a granny flat and charging the bare minimum rent just to do good. It's literally a lie.

One of the DOGE teens met up with Patrick Collison: ("Farritor... met Patrick Collison, who co-founded Stripe Inc., and David Holz, who founded Midjourney. "What's cool is I go there, and all these people care about me.")

The DOGE teen who hand-deleted USAID payments cited Tyler Cowen as a massive influence, and loved being embraced as “Talent” in Tyler’s Network State billionaire circles.

A briefing for the Taoiseach ahead of a 'fireside chat' with Stripe warned the company’s co-founder billionaire John Collison was likely to be critical of Ireland’s 'red tape'.
The Taoiseach’s briefing ran to more than 25 pages for the one-on-one meeting jrnl.ie/6883478

It really IS weird.
The day Pascal Donohue resigned, I saw a number of posts/comments mainly focusing on how he was a prolific reader & a good skin when you met him in person.
Found it so odd that these were peoples first memories/associations & not the utter misery he heavily contributed to.
