Important to remember what Obama had to say about Silicon Valley getting involved in government

Perhaps this has something to do with why people are so angry? #MedicareForAll #UniversalHealthCare 🇺🇸

NOBODY IS BEING REPLACED. THERE IS NOT A FIXED PIE OF JOBS TO BE TAKEN. EVERY NEW AMERICAN WORKER IS ALSO A NEW AMERICAN CONSUMER. IF YOU THINK THE POOL OF JOBS IS LIMITED, WHY DIDN’T WE RUN OUT OF JOBS HUNDREDS OF YEARS AGO

“When did your Jewish and democratic DNA get so sick that [an Israeli] legislator stands here and declares that among 2.3 million [Palestinian] people, there isn't one innocent person?” A powerful speech from Rabbi MK גלעד קריב x.com/peacenowisrael…
