THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023
