      .@matsleder, I hear this a lot. Business and philanthropists have to step in to solve problems because government “isn’t doing the trick.” But let’s speak an uncomfortable truth about who has helped to ensure that government is weak.pic.twitter.com/J2iCtbKzJj

      You worked in senior roles at McDonald’s and Chipotle for years. So you know about the National Restaurant Association, which lobbies for both. And you know it worked to stop the government from raising the minimum wage, and to limit the chance for citizens to use the courts.pic.twitter.com/2USRt9fCeV

      This is the dynamic I chide. First companies and investors make more 💰 than they otherwise would by lobbying against the government regulating them. Then they say government is inept. And they need to step in and make “change.” What about letting the government do its job?

      It is a company’s job to make money. It is the government’s job to provide for the common welfare. What I see is companies trying to block the government from tending to the common welfare, then “stepping in” to do so instead, naturally in ways that don’t hurt them.

      Our henhouse already has a guard, and it’s called the government. When corporate foxes come around and bite the guard in the leg, sending it hobbling, then claim that they are the substitute guard, the hens suffer.

          You, @matsleder, are among the leaders of the “doing well by doing good” culture and circuit. Your voice matters. I hope you use it to ask hard questions about how the doing well often involves causing problems on a scale the doing good cannot outrun.
