Every billionaire "started in a garage" story conveniently leaves out the parental loans, elite university connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom was on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is aesthetics. The capital is inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded.

Counterpoint: we should actively disrespect and distrust extreme wealth as a signal of anti-social attitudes and behavior.

Women
- are 51% of the population
- but 60% of the poor
- and 83% of single parents
- doing 66% of the work
- producing 50% of the food
- but earn just 11% of the pay
- and own only 20% of the land.
- All while giving birth to 100% of the population.

that's why we need feminism.

@stockxsucks Time is money. At this point, I’d rather just go elsewhere and pay for my food + drink if it means not standing in this line.

Tom Steyer is the only billionaire who supports the California billionaire tax. He makes SO many powerful observations in the recent @NewYorker article about the selfish, decadent and morally corrupt elites running Silicon Valley right now.

From the piece:

"I suggested to several super-rich Californians, ‘Look, if you don’t like this, why don’t we sit down and come up with something that works from your standpoint and actually addresses the issues?’ And they had no interest in doing it."

He lamented the passing of what he saw as tech’s originating spirit, entrepreneurial but also patriotic, which was exemplified by the Hewlett-Packard founders’ heavy involvement in philanthropy and public service."

Can you imagine David Packard or Bill Hewlett doing the kind of self-promotion that Elon Musk does?” he said. “There’s obviously been just a really dramatic change. I don’t want to turn them into gods, but Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett felt a deep connection with the country and with the state and with the land. It doesn’t exist today.”

I asked him how he explains this change. “The people who are making the big money in California are technology people,” he said, and many of them “are incredibly focussed on that and quite dismissive of the other kinds of learning. That is not something they respect. English literature is not something they respect.”

It may be pertinent that we were speaking at the decidedly old-school Yale Club, in New York City—Steyer is an alum. “When you get too reductive in terms of focussing just on money, or just focussing on technology, there are a lot of things that you’re cutting away from that world view,” he went on. “And a lot of those things are what we would think of as human values, like compassion, some sense of honor, all the things that you read about in the soft courses. And, if you don’t have that, then O.K., good night. You have a different frame of reference and a different value system.”

I just saw a quote that said

“The rise of women does not mean the fall of man unless men were standing on the backs of women to begin with”

As someone who is close to Obama: this is not a gotcha. This is how progressive politics work. You are inspired by people and frustrated by the pace of change. Then you take the baton and run as hard as you can with it. That's why Obama is campaigning for Abdul.

@PopCrave “Innovates the podcast medium” @PopCrave your choice of words never fail to amuse me

[Grace Ryan @nycgraceryan]

If I had a podcast it would be called “Do you hate me?” and it would just be me getting my close friends and family on record reassuring me that they don’t in fact hate me
