@DelibNet How about some direct democracy for a change?

[Harold McDougall @Profsocialchang]

@DelibNet The problem is that the citizens assembly as “policy jury” is still a form of representative democracy, rather than direct democracy.

if you split bezos’ wealth evenly amongst every single amazon employee each would get around $240,000.

amazon has 840,400 employees.

but don’t worry. I’m sure bezos earned every penny.

@BreeNewsome Exercise democracy at a “human scale.” The Iroquois had it right. How to build out from there without hierarchy?

@arendtiana @ExtinctionR See my earlier qs re how the CAs would work. I'm assuming you would engage the broad base of the population, not just elites. What about high school kids, for example, who are leading their own movement.

[Harold McDougall @Profsocialchang]

@ExtinctionR Please advise how the Citizens Assembly would work. Any activity face to face or via social media only? If any face to face activity, how many people to a meeting, meeting how often? How would their deliberations be transmitted to other Assemblies

More on military/civilian. Idea of "let the military do it" even though it's not their portfolio or training. #AALS2019

#AALS2019 Civil Military relations session. What about 1033 program that transfers military hardware to local police forces? How does that intersect with "posse comitatus"?

@JonahNRO Hard for conservatives to rein in their gut feeling that "she doesn't belong here. " So much for the democratic process.
