This looks silly, but it is actually a really solid concept in my view. It may even be better than the airbnb for humans.

This bill gives big internet companies more power and less oversight. We will see whether all the triumph and idealism around the "people power" defeat of SOPA/PIPA was effectively astroturf. CISPA threatens basic user privacy, not the user generated content cash cow. We will see how far this protest gets without the support of silicon valley big money.

I liked this one especially: "On the other hand, a remnant of the flat-out elitist, aristocratic mindset that we have to kill the shit out of every couple hundred years (cf. French Revolution) is the concept that investors, socially speaking, deserve to outrank employees."

"Investors with annual income or net worth of less than $100,000 will be allowed to invest as much as $2,000 a year in a company that offers shares via crowdfunding."

Even if someone only invests in scams and gets royally fleeced out of their whole $2000 one year, a lot of people waste a lot more money on much stupider stuff.

smart.

I'm assuming you have massive respect for their clever use of a PR opportunity?
