The problem is much larger than corporate boards staffed with CEOs giving each other raises. The problem is that markets are not inherently just. If we want them to operate in a just fashion we have to manage them accordingly. That responsibility has been abdicated and a few people (like Jeff Bezos) have reaped huge…

They lean so hard on the White Savior fantasy, all in service to their gun manufacturer overlords.

The “good guy with gun” fantasy hero is also always well trained, rested, alert, sober, and most of all - prepared to instantly deploy force decisively but without prejudgment in a manner that causes no harm to life or property of the innocent. We try to train police to do that... ask Philando Castile how well that…

Shhhh he’s speaking internet
