I blame atomization of society, loss of community, breakdown of family unit due to unbridled capitalism. Gun availability not a prime cause.

@marcidale World has never had a transparent, participatory, inclusive, responsive democracy, so no models #PDF14

@marcidale links new govt transparency to govt paralysis. Now that the sausage making is visible, govt "has stopped making sausage." #PDF14


It is expensive to be truly informed about what's going on in Congress. @marcidale #PDF14

so maybe we change that - make it less about knowing what's going on in congress and more about whats going on w/7 billion people


How did I not know about this? It's great! bit.ly/1pM14px @marcidale #PDF14

.@agpublic That's hyperbole. Smart #cities can clearly lead to more democracy. Sensors & measurement can lead to more transparency.

yep @karmel80: I understand @handup showing the individual gets people to care and help bc it's concrete. But still makes me cringe. #pdf14

Same. A "linked-in" for blue-collar workers is fine but the REAL problem they face is not on supply side. It's demand for their work. #pdf14

Sorry, #pdf14. Research is clear: Job training, networking, etc. are rounding error on what US impedes US workers: lack of good jobs. #pdf14

Original Tweet: https://twitter.com/zeynep/status/474951558757908480

nstead, I'd love to see a #pdf14 talk on how tech can help workers can organize, unionize &  reverse policies that destroy good jobs.
