You don't sign on to counsel someone you don't support. Not to mention, we all know you're a Randian objectivist, and you probably love the idea of a league of billionaires running the world. Turns out your ideal world isn't so ideal, is it?

9. A bit of local flavor - this will go over well in Oakland but there are 1000's of us natives who

are waiting to see if he and his company do the actual right thing and return Santa Claus to his rightful home in the corner window of UBER's HQ at Telegraph & 20th where most of saw Santa at least once. Any other actions are applauded but are mere, um, window dressing.

11. Can we boycott the rest of the participants on his economic council?

Any collaboration cannot be good if it involves President Pisser.

12. Too late, but perhaps

A penance of a seven or eight figure donation to Planned Parenthood or ACLU would be a start.
