    Dark-money? Is the shadow wizard money gang behind this?

    Really? This was unexpected: “Though it does not publicize this fact, the Heat Initiative is a project of the Hopewell Fund, an organization that helps privately and often secretly direct the largesse — and political will — of billionaires. Hopewell is part of a giant, tightly connected web of largely anonymous, Democratic Party-aligned dark-money groups, in an ironic turn, campaigning to undermine the privacy of ordinary people”.

    Billionaires be billionaires, I guess.
