      This is flat-out wrong, and it should be embarrassing — and, more to the point, hugely concerning — that Bloomberg believed it. https://twitter.com/JonLemire/status/1227751552804323328 …

      Let's be clear. Michael Bloomberg, who is something like the 14th richest man in the world, blamed the 2008 economic collapse on the ending of racist housing policies in order to exonerate the true culprits, his fellow plutocrats.https://twitter.com/JonLemire/status/1227751552804323328 …

      WASHINGTON (AP) — At the height of the 2008 economic collapse, then-New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the elimination of a discriminatory housing practice known as “redlining” was responsible for instigating the meltdown. https://apnews.com/8cbb1fafbb4faf01e8d9571363979501 …

      Meh. This was conventional wisdom on the right in 2008. It was wrong but it’s about as scandalous as believing Iraq had WMDs in 2003.

      That's also scandalous! It's bad for powerful people to have crackpot ideas that get people hurt.

          In California where the housing crisis means redlining is talked about/remembered constantly -- I could see this really affecting him here.

          Literally tens of millions of people believed it. On Iraq the scandal was that the Bush Admin officials perpetrated the lie. Not sure how much impact the rwn fantasies on CRA ultimately had. All of it points to Bloomberg’s propensity to accept shallow ideas too easily.
