Re:Robinhood to pay $70M for 'systemic supervisory failures' by navierstokes on Wednesday June 30, 2021 @07:39PM (#27694805)
I'm very sorry I gave you that impression.

When Jamie Dimon discussed the warm relationship between Obama officials and tech in a public speech at Stanford, I assumed it was (1) common knowledge and (2) socially acceptable to discuss in public.

I think the current administration has made excellent personnel choices in the regulatory agencies. I am hopeful for the future.

But I don't think I "called out" anyone. I understand that expression to mean "seeking to direct reflexive mob anger toward a specific individual". It's the practice that's troubling, not the people.

I actually believe that most of the people engaged in this practice (revolving door) have impeccable moral character.

Thanks for the thoughtful response.

Unfortunately many people call out Obama specifically as a way to take a partisan political jab at the left especially on forums. Trump’s White House was full of crooks who really were there based 100% on who they knew since many were otherwise unqualified. It makes going back a president feel like cherry picking an example but I see you could have done it as Biden would draw from Obama’s sphere more.

I am not aware of the specific Dimon speech you mentioned. Ajit Pai had a close relationship with the ISPs and Telecommunications companies with all their attacks on net neutrality etc. so I do find that the argument that Democrats are so much cozier with tech to be a bit oversimplified.

I agree with your comment overall, just shedding some insights on my thinking
