1/ I know for most Americans, tech policy seems niche, and far removed from their lives. I hear it as a critique of my 2018 campaign often.

But bad tech policy *IS* at the core of many of the problems America faces. We never made any plan, and now the world feels out of control.
2/ Couruption on Wall Street, ABSOLUTELY accelerated by technology and algorhythmic trading - all without oversight.

The fact that right and left live in alternate news universes, ALSO driven by technological changes to media.

It’s hard to think of an industry not affected.
3/ Health care: With every test, drug and doctor, provider tries to gouge every penny they can. And insurance runs probability curves to spend as little as possible. Meanwhile, you’re stuck in the middle.

Even democracy itself: A marketing exercise fundamentally broken by tech.
4/ I’m not saying because I come from the tech industry, I have all the answers.

I am saying, THIS IS SOMETHING OUR LEADERS NEED TO THINK ABOUT MORE.

Better tech policy means better outcomes in health care, the economy, education - and even democracy itself.
