I was there. LOL. It’s a shame. She has the best economic platform of the people running and she speaks about race in a nuanced way that Bernie has failed to.

Yeah. The most-regulated sector of the economy definitely needs more regulations.

The DNA test is a great idiot test - if you care about this test then you are likely an idiot.

Yes? Is this post sarcastic?

Also not sure if you're talking about Finance a la stock trading on Wall Street or how corporations are structured more generally but Warren's regulatory plans go far beyond simply breaking up big banks.

I don't care about the test, but here's what gets me: After she took the test and realized she was only 1/2048th Native American (or something), why did she even release the results? Honest question here; if anyone knows the answer, please tell me.

And yeah, it's sarcastic. Most regulations discourage startups, discourage innovation, and allow industry insiders to regulate their own companies. It becomes impossible for smaller companies to comply with all the bureaucratic red tape, and so they end up being subsumed into larger conglomerates. This is how the biggest banks have managed to gobble up all of their competition in the past two decades. I'm sure Warren thinks she's doing the right thing, but I have no faith in the government's ability to put an end to crony capitalism. Monopolies are almost always created through government intervention in the markets.

Who cares?

It's a completely unforced error. There was no reason to do it. I'd like to know if she actually thought that having a great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandmother who was Native American actually qualified her as a person of indigenous descent. Because if so, she's a genuine idiot. No two ways about it.
