Should be obvious…
“It is clear to me and to the American people, that the CEOs of the largest banks in America should not be allowed to serve as directors of the main agency we have in this country in charge of regulating those very same financial institutions”

Because people are intelligent and talking to them like they are seventh graders has been a way the system disempowers them?

Yes.
"Eight in ten Americans (80%) favor laws that would protect gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people against discrimination in jobs, public accommodations, and housing." It's time to stop discriminatory bills and push for greater protections! bit.ly/42I5NyE

They knew then and they know now.
As early as 1968, the American Petroleum Institute knew that fossil fuels could pose "severe" damage to our environment.

From Arkansas to Iowa, there are forces in this country working to *repeal child labor laws.*
We need a Dept. Of Children and Youth to bolster the rights of children, plus the DOJ needs more resources with which to go after those who exploit them. nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opini…

Then technically, given that this is my Twitter account, aren’t you the one who’s supposed to go away?

Children are the biggest collateral damage in an amoral economic system.
They’re not old enough to vote so they don’t form a constituency.
They’re not old enough to work so they have no financial leverage.
We need a massive transfer of resources in the direction of our children.

This country is actually sliding backwards, diminishing rather than expanding the rights of Americans.
It’s unbelievable that in 2023 we’re actually having to defend child labor laws against encroachment by corporate tyrants.
But we are.
And we must.
Workplace law changes would make for lost, dangerous Iowa childhoods, Council Bluffs labor leaders, parents, say
"The bill is about billion-dollar corporations pressuring our Legislature to allow them to exploit our children," says @Jen4IALabor

These kids are not 20th-century people, and they get it deep in their bones that they don’t deserve to live - or die - at the effect of bad ideas left over from the 20th century.
Sixteen young people from Montana have sued the state, arguing that its support of fossil fuels violates the state Constitution that guarantees “the right to a clean and healthful environment.” nyti.ms/3JIWPsr

The status quo will not disrupt itself.
The idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched within a system that drove us into a ditch should possibly be considered qualified to lead us out of it is absurd.
We don’t need the expertise to perpetuate that system; we need the expertise to disrupt it.
