Elizabeth Warren Would Be A Great Choice

In some quarters they are talking about Elizabeth Warren as being the VP pick for Biden. I think that would be a wonderful choice to make. It would certainly be the most democratic choice. There were two clear streams this primary season. Biden represents one. The other can be represented by Warren. She is a progressive who is clearly not a socialist. And she goes low when Trump goes low. She goes toe to toe. Politics is war by other means.

Picking Warren would be great to bring about party unity. And we can expect to see AOC back on the campaign trail with Warren. She will do for Warren this Fall what she did for the B man last Fall. Warren wanted AOC to do that for her last Fall, but then B man went ahead and had a heart attack. That tugged at AOC's heart. Besides, Bernie only popped up because Warren refused to run in 2016. Hillary was the Biden of 2016.

If Warren is on the ticket no lefty will be talking about if Biden went far enough for them or not. You get Warren, all such anxieties are soothed. Besides, this pandemic makes Bernie look like a Wall Street don.

Biden should pick Warren. Wait, the names even rhyme. I just noticed.

They both can retire and make room for AOC in 2028.

Human Capital Takes Center Stage Amidst The Pandemic

If the people can not go to work because the virus is out and about, no amount of stimulus money and bailout money will jumpstart the economy. It is like the entire world has gone on strike. And in so doing human beings have proven how indispensable and fundamental they are to every national economy, to the global economy. Every ambitious program ever proposed in every country that has had to with education and health and food security and basic financial security (think UBI) have been less expensive than the stimulus money and bailout money now being implemented with little to no debate. Goblets of money are being splurged at the speed of knee-jerk reaction. Obviously, you have had the money.

For the longest time the running dogma has been that oil might destroy the planet, but it is too important for the global economy. Where is your oil now?

The lesson is, so now start with human capital. Start with the climate, not with oil.

To a country like India feeding people has always been more important than building roads, for example. Now they are doing it.

The Green New Deal now looks cheap.
