.@mehdirhasan: Why does America, founded in resistance to monarchy, give the rich and powerful so many second chances? @AnandWrites: “Second chances are not a bad thing. They're just very poorly distributed...People at the top are hoarding the opportunity to reinvent yourself.”

The founders built a system to entrench the power of wealthy, property-owning white men and that's exactly what we have to this day. The system was designed this way. We need fundamental changes.

As always enjoy a convo with @mehdirhasan and @AnandWrites But they missed the reason that these second chances happen in America. White Privilege, period. Every example they cited, white. Juxtapose this with @ZerlinaMaxwell segment on Janet

Finally getting to my recordings of MHS, loved the discussion on second chances it was deserving of more time. The one thing I don't like about the formats of news shows, guests have limited time, especially guests like Anand that bring profound thoughts and ideas.
