So Buttigieg worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield in Michigan and participated in disaster capitalism in Afghanistan. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
The way the author portrays it, most of the work sounds fairly innocuous, but Dovere is one of the last reporters I would trust to report seriously on a centrist Democratic candidate.
If you haven't read @NaomiAKlein's Shock Doctrine, it is essential to understanding American economic opportunism in Afghanistan. What government contractors and consultants were doing there was...not good.
Buttigieg downplays his work for Blue Cross, but regardless, this matters: A candidate who attacks Medicare for All, and the candidate who truly believes in it, worked for a private health insurer. Makes you think... readsludge.com/2019/10/18/as-…
See, like I said, Dovere is about the last person you want honestly assessing a centrist.

Buttigieg helped Blue Cross save money on "administration and overhead costs" i.e. laying people off and increasing insurance premiums.
Cool!
Cool!
EXACTLY what @wendellpotter predicted.
Oh boy.
