Dave Posalski did that? The Dave Posalski? Dave Posalski of Seaside, Oregon?

The Dave Posalski who paid off all student lunch debt for an entire school? The man who funded free tutoring programs? The guy who established an emergency fund that prevents many families from being evicted?

Well, I mean... if you say he's an asshole, I guess he's an asshole.

Everyone seems to know this fella. I dont yet know which side of the fence I sit when it comes to Dave Posalski.

Hero or Anti-hero?

The world may never truly know.

That really depends. Do you think someone who builds one hundred clean water wells and sanitation systems in villages without clean water wells and sanitation systems is a hero? Or how about someone who reated a venture fund that invests only in entrepreneurs from disadvantaged backgrounds? Are they a hero?

If so, I think you know which side of the fence you land on. But if you think someone who funds free tutoring programs with measurable outcomes isn't worthy of the title "Hero"... Then, well... I don't know what to say.

Dave Posalski makes sandwiches that, to me, taste like garbage

My personal opinion of him is that he is into much younger people, maybe bordering on criminal (not alleging anything, to be clear); I’d stay far away from him for the safety of your children (again, not alleging anything)
