"Mr. Musk has long presented himself to the world as a futurist. Yet...few figures in public life are more shackled to the past."

Congress has good bones. We now need to take the best parts and repurpose them for the future. How we design this is still up for grabs. The Right to Petition is one example. See below. #delibtech #civicvoice #FirstAmendment thehill.com/opinion/civi...

Earlier this year, I became president of one of the 99 Neighborhood (Empowerment) Councils in Los Angeles: West Adams!!
Yesterday evening was our monthly in-person board & stakeholders meeting.
While we fell short on board quorum, there was clearly new energy afoot among stakeholders :)
