I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

Kicking the can down the road implies you have a better solution?

    A solution that stops evil people from being greedy for all of future society, gaming whatever our system is to hoard resources? No, I don't.

    Whether under capitalism or socialism, either system would need frequent attention and intervention by thoughtful, socially responsible people to watch for abusers of the system.

    Right, but Capitalism incentivises this behaviour, thus making the checks and balances required both more robust and needing to be applied for regularly - while the powerful are capable of preventing this.

    On the other hand, Socialism has incentives that are completely different - managing the abusers would be a much simpler task.
