This Weinstein story is just the tip of the iceberg. How Brain Singer, Roman Polanski, and Woody Allen have buzzing careers boggles the mind in this day and age.

Yes.

There's lots of these people. People who think the problems of poverty and inequality can be addressed by more means testing, data analysis, and rigorous application of non-partisan solutions. You can fix problems without ever dealing with "ideology" or "who holds power." You can fix things without ever actually challenging the institutions and power dynamics that make it. They are fools.

I'm not saying hillfolk are terrible, but I'm willing to wager a large number of people who said poo poo like "but polanski didn't rape rape her" were also #WithHer.

edit: wait a minute, that's wrong - hillfolk are terrible and will defend anything is exactly the thing I'm saying

Completely by coincidence, all of these solutions happen to involve giving money to various special-interest groups

Article on how Dems voted on budgets: https://medium.com/@JonathanCohn/a-budget-is-a-statement-of-values-so-what-did-the-house-say-about-its-values-today-99fa73ad3c86

Beto O'Rourke voted against the Progressive Caucus' "People's Budget" :doh:


Ellison, Gabbard, Gallego, Khanna, Lee, Waters obviously voted for it, even DWS voted for the progressive budget. This isn't a major thing, and it was never going to pass, but it shows where these folks lean.

could also mean charity, public-private partnerships, privatization, deregulation, "market-driven solutions", or "economic liberalization"

did a bit of googling and the phrase is mostly used by people who describe aid as an "investment" and seek to use data to maximize the "returns"

of the top three Google results, #1 is a software company selling data-crunching solutions to governments, #2 is a consultancy firm selling data-crunching services to wealthy charities, and #3 is an incredibly sketchy videogame startup that claims that winning their games will demonstrate to employers that you are good at careers and get you hired
