A heady valuation for the sibling-founded public benefit corp (whose wonky governance 'is not at odds with commercial success')

So much disinformation and just galaxy-brained responses to the Israel-Hamas war, but 'here's a video of the hostages smiling and waving, obviously Hamas treated them very well and they were happy to be in Gaza' is just such next-level insanity I don't even know what to say.
