The status quo has a brilliant way of protecting and perpetuating itself; it simply co-opts disruptive language.

Thank you, Professor. Out of context your comment was used by others to minimize my effort, and I appreciate how you've set the record straight a couple of times now. Indeed I realize my starting number was very low.

I would totally be open to federally funded, temporary compensatory measures in certain communities.

Because I’m reading Andrew Yang’s book “The War on Normal People” right now, I’m actually very concerned.

I have said that anything less than $100 billion would be an insult, but that should be the minimum. I see that. What I’m most concerned with is establishing that it should be done. Darity and others have done the important work on figuring out how much.

What we can’t afford is $2T tax cut with 83 cents of every $ to richest individuals & corporations, only a tiny fraction of which to be reinvested in the economy. What we can’t afford is to remain in denial about the systematic theft from our public treasury into hands of a few.
