$500 million dollar petition to Steve Ballmer

[dknise]

http://www.change.org/petitions/steve-ballmer-let-s-create-a-500m-seattle-startup-fund

I shit you not.

I'm posting it here so it's private because the petition was started by a social circle acquantance... but WHAT THE F*ck?

I don't think I have ever been more angered at the state of the Seattle startup scene (my hometown) than to see this pathetic move being shared by multiple people on my Facebook timeline.

1) Mr. Ballmer, please give away half a billion dollars to us random wantrapreneurs in Seattle.
2) You're pledging $2.5 million per person who signs the petition.
3) Help us create your company's killer! You could kill Microsoft Mr. Ballmer.
4) Maybe, most likely, POSSIBLY, you could get your money back 9 years into your retirement.

All I'm saying... is I hope who ever wrote this petition walks in front of a bus this morning. :groove:
