Dear young people, you are brilliant, passionate, innovative and progressive. But, if you don't pay attention to politics and policies, your livelihood will be legislated out of existence.
Form lobby groups, attend industry meetings, vote at sectorial association elections, sponsor political candidates, invite government officials to your events. Do what is wise.
I know you prefer to focus on building things. Politics irritates you. But why don't you identify those among you who have emotional & cultural intelligence. Structure and fund them to be your representatives. You need eyes, ears and seats at the table. Don't be careless.
Everything that is happening now was decided months ago, without your knowledge or participation. You can't be surprised at what you failed to be aware of.
You have unimaginable clout you are not deploying strategically. You are being reactive, not proactive. Channel your anger.
