@fullfathomfive i loved the idea of DuoLingo's mission.

That's the other message: "non-profits" often change their minds and go public. or in some cases, keep a non-profit but move the core business to public. they will sometimes spin this as funding the non-profit, but the fact that they could use the money to fund the non-profit is cover for all the checks the execs are cashing.

there's no safe space, I think.

and, as with so many things, I really don't know what the answer is.
