I've never directly interacted with the foundation, only watched a few videos online.  I didn't like how they are US based and headed by a very un-diverse group of individuals.  Trying to control and lead the world again.   Now reading this article and seeing that individual members don't even get to elect their own board members I will no longer pay attention to thus group.
I had considered becoming a member at one point because I want to support all initiatives, but now that is out of the question.

Bitcoin foundation: thank you for paying the lead developers salary, that's about all I can say.

That's kind of a lame list if you ask me.

Looks like all the good candidates from last year are no longer interested in running. Shame.

Bobby Lee is a good comedian, and this Bobby Lee is not as funny.

"None of the above" and Andres Bzurovski are tied for eighth place. lol

The foundation has become a silly joke to me now. They are so ineffectual and unnecessary that if they all spontaneously burst into flames and died tomorrow nothing would change. Bitcoin would just march on forward without them.

They're not needed and if we allow them to follow their agenda it will hurt bitcoin. TBF is an undemocratic closed lobbyist circle which supports governmental overregulation and is betraying the heart of bitcoin.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.

This statement is revealing enough. Most dictators would agree. 

TBF fanboys don't like to have their primary source of self-confidence threatened. Relax, nobody will take away your cool TBF badge you've proudly collected...

You don't know your history. Dictatorships offer only the choice to follow. Fortunately with bitcoin there is an opportunity to organize and effect change.  You can take charge of your future and shape it. That's called leadership. You can follow and support ideas and work with others toward a goal. Or you can cry like a baby while the world passes you by.
This is why your ideas will remain largely in your own head and buried in unread internet posts. While those who do something productive, like the foundation members, will shape the future. Of course the more the better. If you have other ideas about bitcoin then you should do some work to make it happen. But if your plan begins and ends with tearing other people down then I assume you don't actually have any ideas.

Except Satoshi Nakamoto, who as of this post has not touched a single penny of his/her/their BTC wealth.

This may come as a surprise to the capitalists of the world, but money-making is not then only motivation for human behavior...
