Hugely important. Silicon Valley wields power to determine the fate of hundreds of millions of people on this planet...as much as government, religion and the press. Ethical voices desperately needed within its ranks. (How many billions is enough, guys?)
India is targeting climate activists & supporters of #FarmersProtests.
Silicon Valley has been complicit in these human rts violations. A new Indian law will require further complicity.
We MUST pressure Big Tech to RESIST this! @NaomiAKlein theintercept.com/2021/02/27/…

You’re the type of person who thinks government has no responsibility to serve its people, that it only exists to serve huge corporate interests and profit maximization for the extremely wealthy. That nonsense, both senseless and cruel, is so done.

They absolutely do. But we don’t have time for them to grow up & then change things; we have to change things now so that they will have a chance. That IS today’s positive outlook... that we can do it now!

Problem w/ Covid Relief Bill is not that it won’t help people; in many ways it will. But it won’t help enough people right now, in ways that are obvious, quick & visceral. It seems to have been written by those who can’t imagine what it means to be desperate & hungry this minute.

Until we’re willing to shift society from an economic to a humanitarian bottom line - destroying the unholy alliance between politics and profit - then the best we can do is accompany each other to whatever global calamity or calamities destroy us instead.

From agriculture to climate change to medicine to business to education to economics there’s a more sustainable way of living on the earth. But it’s at odds with the economic thinking now dominating the world, trapping our politics & our future on a trajectory of self-destruction

A child who doesn’t learn to read by the age of 8 has a small chance of ever graduating from high school & a drastically increased chance of incarceration. That child has no bootstraps to pull up. And no amount of private charity can compensate for a basic lack of social justice.

If the US gov’t wanted to eradicate poverty, it could do so much to eradicate poverty. If it wanted to eradicate hunger, it could do so much to eradicate hunger. If it wanted to eradicate illiteracy, it could do so much to eradicate illiteracy. The lesson here? It really doesn’t.
