        "Please don't take the needs or concerns of business into account while expanding your bureaucratic regulation" doesn't sound that libertarian to me.

        Does libertarianism stand for the freedom of the market or for the interest of big business? Because those are two distinct things.

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        No executive in any company should ever be appointed to any government position. At best it will lead to frequent conflicts of interest, but more plainly it's an invitation to corruption. It's bad enough that senior military-officers are always hired as defense industry execs.

        It pleases me greatly that you just RT’ed Laura Nelson’s work. She’s the best journalist working in Los Angeles.

        Meanwhile, at Vice https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3gd85/bidens-transition-team-is-stuffed-with-amazon-uber-lyft-and-airbnb-personnel … (to be fair, having folks from that mindset at OMB is worrisome in a way that having them at DOT wouldn't necessarily be)

        At this point, Uber and Lyft are market-based delusions capitalized by very sad investors. Especially, the ones that got in towards the run up to the IPO. Regulatory arbitrage is not a long term business strategy. The idea anybody on their exec teams knows public transit is dumb
