While activists nitpicked about which companies got small business grants worth $10 million, the real bailout, with trillions on the line rather than millions, was happening, quietly, at the Fed. interc.pt/2M4Ykno

Great discussion convened by Better Markets on #DoddFrank10. Hearing about the financial sector's intense lobbying against critical financial reforms post-crisis makes clear why we need to both strengthen the public interest voice, and curb corporate political influence today.

Corporations have vowed new era of kinder capitalism. In the pandemic and movement for racial justice, companies are failing their promises, according to new study obtained by The New York Times nytimes.com/2020/09/22/bus…
