Elizabeth Warren being in the DoD’s corner on basic serviceability of equipment critical to the sustained warfighting capability of our military against an industry flexing DRM was not on my late capitalism bingo card.
For those who believe in the politics circus, wouldn't this be a much better female president candidate compared to Hillary Clinton (first declare independence from Britain then go back to kings and queens?), or Kamala Harris?
I suspect the parent is referring to a distressing trend of mean reversion: we’re really running the motor on all cylinders to elect people to high office based on what family they hail from, a phenomenon that dates at least as far back as 2000 (and there were the Kennedy family, and before that…).
It has precedent for about 10 thousand years before that, but we were moving in the right direction on it and we’ve reversed course.
Yeah, I also suspect(ed) it's something like that. But then it's pretty weird of Dr Chemicals-as-food to single out Mrs Clinton like he did. The Bushes are a much more blatant example.
I think that of everyone notionally on the taxpayer’s payroll that Lina Khan is the most effective, tenacious, old-school pg “relentlessly resourceful” badass in practice in public life in the United States.
I have no idea if her being a woman is anything to do with it, but if we put someone like her in high(er) office we’d get a woman and a hero as president in one stroke.
Elizabeth Warren is quite an effective advocate for the people herself as well.
It's very much in character for her. She's been supportive of consumer rights and protections for long time. She's got a long history of being anti-DRM and pro-right to repair.
