No -ism is immune to hubris. I still believe in people sharing in the profit of their labor, and appreciate this post clarifying one of the many ways dissent can be crushed, albeit temporarily.
If one's idea is genuinely good, it better be able to handle dissent. Once gulags get involved, you've long ago lost the people's belief, and are on a timer.
There's positive tech stuff out here too, bud. You'll likely need to look for yourself though, the recruiter reaching out to you is better funded for some reason.
You and I have disagreed on other things occasionally.
But a bunch of downvotes for someone pointing out the shitty idea behind credit scores, and an upvoted brand new account justifying them.. how curious.
My money's on this. But: tldr; if city workers know he's trying to do good, and find out old money is fucking with him, his support will strengthen in a way we've not seen in a long time.
So, having worked for the city years ago, I also know it's a system full of people he was directly talking to with affordability. They're on-board with him, if he starts delivering the goods in a public way. Ways to get good food for cheap for everyone, raising wages, getting a cap on crime and helping the homeless. That's all people want.
With that in mind, if it is revealed that even a couple of billionaires is working to trash those efforts in a coordinated manner, suddenly the people of NYC have both a guy trying to do right by them, and a powerful enemy to rally against. There aren't enough cops to deal with people dropping bricks off rooftops, every street becomes a potential 'interaction'.. think a version of "the warriors", but it's regular folks vs the recognized billionaires. Heh, one can dream, anyway.
What'll happen, ultimately? I dunno. But the ingredients for something special are in place.
