    We should all be outraged by this. And not at all surprised. This is the reality for so many people. The system is rigged. It’s not about merit. So, people who don’t experience this 🤬 yourself— read, learn, believe. It is this bad, often, if not always. Don’t like it? Fix it.

    It’s too easy for many of us to take the web for granted. We build it. We make things for building it. But take a moment with me.... What is the web? What did it turn out to be? Why does it matter? What role does the web play in people’s lives? Why do you care about the web?
