An appointed U.S. Senator with massive holdings in the financial services industry who votes on bank regulation is no better than a senator with massive holdings in medical device stocks who votes on our health care.
Shameful.

"She also faces questions about whether she’ll serve on powerful committees that oversee the financial industry or cast votes on issues that could influence her husband’s company or its subsidiary, the Bakkt cryptocurrency firm she now runs."
Sounds familiar.
Senator Loeffler and @TinaSmithMN can head up the U.S. Senate investment club.
@TinaSmithMN And those medical device stocks have done fabulously!!
Ever wonder why your health insurance costs so much?
Don't ask.

A big issue in public higher education.
How high should salaries be for top management?
And don't forget the football coach ....

kstp.com/news/universit…
$4.7 million per year -- nine times as much -- for the football coach.
Priorities ....
And she'll earn her keep if she looks at gender and racial salary inequity in some of the units. It's a mess.

Racism toward indigenous peoples is alive and well in the "Christian" Church.
Has anything changed since the days of Christopher Columbus?
Disgusting.

Head of liturgy commission criticizes Amazon synod on social media ncronline.org/news/people/he… via @ncronline
@NCRonline I do not denounce racism in the Church because I dislike Christians.
I denounce racism in the Church because I am a Christian, and denigration of indigenous people and other forms of racism are not Christian.
@NCRonline "Several posts on the Wadsworth Facebook account criticized the incorporation of indigenous symbols into the Synod for the Amazon."
In other words the culture of the people of the Amazon is not worthy of being incorporated into the liturgy.
Not white enough.

Stamp a yellow star ⭐️ on the front of the passport?
How about Muslims?
Are they too a separate nationality?
Where does this lead?
We know where.

1) People hating banks is old news. It’s more interesting to look at root causes for the inertia. And more importantly, why is the centuries-old banking industry changing so suddenly? New post: Why our most hated institutions will become our most beloved bit.ly/37AGvpU
2) What's unique about this disruption is that, rather than a single winner and many losers, all players stand to benefit. Incumbents will improve, it'll become faster to launch startups, and new brands that have nothing to do with financial services could become your bank!
3) This rapid change is being powered by new infrastructure companies. In stark contrast to the traditionally cumbersome, years-long process of partnering with legacy tech, these new fintech companies provide modern APIs as financial services building blocks.

Here's a THREAD on the #USS Trustees, powerful individuals whose role has been insufficiently examined, and who have been operating without the full benefits of public scrutiny.

#USSstrikes #USSstrike #WeAreTheUniversity #StrikeForUSS #DemocratiseUSS #DemocratizeUSS

👇👇👇
As the #USS dispute goes on, it's clearer than ever that the institutions that govern our pensions have been failing us in multiple ways. They are secretive, non-transparent, marked by conflicts of interest and revolving doors. We need to open up and #DemocratizeUSS.
Of the 5 “independent” Trustees of #USS, 4 have a background working for investment and financial services companies, the 5th used to work for Rio Tinto, the mining company, running their gold mines in Papua New Guinea.

Let's have a look at them.

THREAD: What’s the CFPB, what’s going on there, and why should I care? (Hint: There is a struggle for leadership of an important agency.)
1/ The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, which was passed after the financial crisis as a way of reining in problems in our financial system.
2/ The CFPB is the *only* federal agency focused on protecting consumers of financial services. Before it was created, various federal agencies (and state Attorneys General) filled that void.
