And that would be hard to do, because he has to overcome inertia -- even if I wanted to fund this, I'm probably too lazy to setup an account! But no, the guys funding him appear to do this type of thing on a regular basis, so it's pretty easy for them to log in and toss him $10.
I just sat through an HR talk yesterday about 'working with millenials'. I guess I'm getting old.
They seem to treat kickstarter the way I treat Kiva: toss a few bucks when I think about it. But supposedly I get that money BACK.
I wonder how many of them are carrying revolving credit card debt as they burn Hamiltons that way. I wonder how many are maxing out their 401ks before tossing Hamiltons at 'sticking it to the man.'
I suppose I am officially old. And at so young an age. Alas.
