Role at the time: Founder and CEO of Moor Insights & Strategy
Condemned
Statement summary
Patrick Moorhead asks why equity dedicated to the public benefit is not given directly to the public, saying people would know better than bureaucratic institutions what to do with the money.
“If it’s dedicated entirely the “public benefit” why don’t they just give it to the public and citizens where they can directly benefit? Seems like the public would know what to do with the money better than bureaucratic institutions.”

Moorhead argues that the public would use the money better than bureaucratic institutions and asks why it is not given to people directly. He objects to the institution-run structure itself, which goes beyond disputing how the commitment is described.
