This.

Ichaan, a Trump supporter from the first day of candidacy, has a $100mm stake in Lyft... Not sure what Theil's numbers are.

If this election has taught me anything it's that people unfortunately think with their hearts to the point of being almost braindead.

Reminds me of how Whole Foods was founded by an Ayn Rand loving libertarian, but somehow people think their money goes to a hippy-dippy left leaning institution every time they shop.

Not that there's anything wrong with being a libertarian... just making a point about perception.



I agree wholeheartedly, but I think this phenomenon is to be expected.

I don't know any more about the founder of Whole Foods than I do about the founder of Target, nor is it really relevant to me as a consumer. All the vast majority of people have to form an opinion on their image is the companies themselves and their experiences with them. So, we do.
