Google, The Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, and Edelman all strongly courted Obama staffers in 2012 during and after the election. There are many close ties between these companies and the current administration. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if movements.org was simply another funnel for these organizations to continue to splash money and favors in their direction.
How depressing would it be to know your job and existence is basically a bribe, with no expectation to make a meaningful contribution to the world? I'm picturing some enterprising recent college graduate thinking they're going there to change the world and getting laughed out of the room after laying out a plan to make them more effective. I need a shower just thinking about it.
- tamana 11y agoSo your idea is that companies give money to employee Y of X, as a bribe to X (who likes the company better because they game X money), and that's bad because Y is somehow unable to use money effectively, but X is able to use money effectively?
