    People should be paying a lot more attention to @PeteButtigieg in this presidential race. He's thoughtful and real, no posturing, with policy positions developed by observing the needs of real people. #SXSW

    So impressed with the intelligence, practicality, and values of @Ocasio2018. She gives me hope for the future of democracy in America. "Big money can only win against other big money. Everything changes when you can out-organize big money."

    I've witten a critique of Silicon Valley's obsession with monopoly as a business model. It's a #longread but I hope you will stick with me to the end. And more importantly, if you are an entrepreneur or a VC, I hope you will make different choices!
