You have got to be kidding. Even Milton Friedman said we needed a UBI to make trickle down economics safe and ethical.

We’re talking about moving backwards here. Years of progress on racial justice would be nullified.

For fundamental change to happen the quality of our personhood needs to improve as much as the quantity of our data. We’re going to have to start thinking of citizenship as an aspect of a meaningful and well-lived life. We’ve had a painful lesson in what happens when we look away

It’s not enough for our elected representatives to only hear from us every two or four years, when they’re hearing from corporate lobbyists all day every day.

No matter who wins the presidency, we need to think fundamental & not just incremental change. Poverty, income inequality, education, children, war &peace, criminal justice, racial healing, climate change, environmental toxins… all demand more than a little tweaking here & there

There’s no corporate profit to be made from advocating for children, which is why NO this country should not be run like a business! It should be run more like a functional and caring family.

If we come to a national consensus that every public school in America will be a palace of culture, learning & the arts, massively front-ending our resources in the direction of childhood development & well-being, that will fundamentally alter the future of America w/in 20 years.

Ever since I posted that I’ve been doubting whether it’s an accurate quote because Susan B Anthony died before the passage of the 19th amendment. So like, who would she have been talking to? Will research further. Still a good quote.

Actually no. Black Lives Matter is the biggest social movement in the history of the U.S. It’s extremely important but the truth is that it hasn’t created one legislative change yet. Those will happen according to how we vote. Politicians respond to being hired or fired.

I was thinking more George W. Bush versus Al Gore. If Gore had won (which he actually did), there would’ve been no Iraq war and there would’ve been a massive national commitment to combating climate change.

I’m laughing at reading everybody’s responses and okay I get the irony. But I still think he would’ve said it because the larger point remains. Transformations created at the ballot box are more profound for a society in the long run than is the assassination of any one person.
