      I agree with most of his general sentiments, but I don’t really like him. He always comes off as a tad arrogant to me.

        I like what he does and that he can rally people to a cause, but he consistently misses the mark.

        In order to escape the corrupt bureaucracy of New York, he moved to… Texas.

        I think he’s a ‘path of least resistance’ kind of guy, not ideologically driven but rather “I don’t wanna deal with it” driven. He has deemed that it is easier to move to Texas because the corruption there affects him less directly and more abstractly, and he chooses to front Right to Repair because it is easier to lobby and rally people than it is to work in his industry without his political influence.

        He has a front row seat to the horrors of capitalism and, without missing a beat, says “I’m not a socialist, I’m a capitalist” because it’s easier to be a shitlib than it is to believe in something bigger.
