A couple things stood out to me in this article:
> "The private market will reward those that take care of their stakeholders" (Kevin Kelly)
One of Warren's main points is that this is visibly not true: "Real wages have stagnated even as productivity has continued to rise"
> “What she’s talking about is freezing the economy as it is, keeping things as they are." (Steve Forbes)
Unsubstantiated. I'd like to see an explanation of how this could be true.
I'd really like to see these conservative-corporate types actually defend their positions sometime without resorting to "socialism is bad!" or "the economy will falter!", which are just bogeyman arguments.

- belltaco 8y agoI guess stakeholders in the Kevin quote refers to shareholders rather than employees or public interest. No wonder they want to kill the EPA.
