Last night I found an unhinged wordpad doc on my desktop from about a month ago. I'm feeling more at peace now, so I'd like to share some fun facts about this guy, Dan Price.

Dan Price:
- Made millions as the CEO of a credit card processing / financial corporation
- Converted his life into a PR project by paying his employees more and taking a pay cut
- Nice looking white man with seemingly baseline progressive politics
- Violently abused his ex wife

Maybe you've seen his tweets going around and been vaguely suspicious of this American flag waving, daytime TV guest looking dude and wonder why the online left ("left"?) seems to tolerate him. I wondered that too. Again, he is the CEO of a financial corporation.

His tweets on January 6th were doing numbers (a funny expression to use because he is the CEO of a financial corporation). He has a lot of followers, so of course he excels with the usual ubiquitously paraphrased basic takes—"We should call these people terrorists" or whatever.

But he got famous for the pay equity thing. So, in Price's telling, he was confronted about his millions by an underpaid low-level employee in 2011, and it bothered him. He started giving out placating raises (very much charity-as-a-distraction-from-wealth like).
