🧵 The best solution to a complex problem is often the simplest.
If you went to engineering school in America in the last few decades, some frustrated professor probably told you 50 times to
Keep It Simple, Stupid!
KISS
The underlying tenet of successful engineering design.
2/ The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is one of the most complex problems modern society has faced.
It is multifaceted.
It’s global.
There are both short and long term consequences for every aspect.

I am so disappointed in our country, but I know I am partly to blame. I was angry and disillusioned about the level of corruption in our government, at all levels, but I did not know how to change it. I became complacent and took too many things for granted.
NOW WE ARE AWAKE
I will never be complacent again. This corruption is completely intolerable. I am ANGRY + I will fight until we permanently change this country for the better.
I know you feel the same way. Our strength is in our numbers. We must stay united, strategic, and relentless. #SKorea
Step 1: It is URGENT that we get Dems to the polls in record-breaking, shocking numbers.
That is what it is going to take to overcome all the GOP cheating, hacking, propaganda, and election fraud. Go door-to-door. Talk to your neighbors. This is absolutely critical.
The internet is "a ripe target for foreign adversaries seeking to meddle in elections." The widespread effort by Russian state proxies to influence American politics included covert expenditures on political ads online.
Online political spending, is likely to increase. #REGULATE
We MUST have transparency for all sources of spending on political ads, regardless of the medium.
