Summers is a rubber stamp: See what Elizabeth Warren said he said to him: “ He teed it up this way: I had a choice. I could be an insider or I could be an outsider. Outsiders can say whatever they want. But people on the inside don’t listen to them. Insiders, however, get lots of access and a chance to push their ideas. People — powerful people — listen to what they have to say. But insiders also understand one unbreakable rule: They don’t criticize other insiders.”
- nabla9 3y agoHolding your tongue is important if you want to get things happen your way. Not criticizing is not the same as doing what others tell you.
- foobarqux 3y agoYes, Summers is going to act in his own interest, which means not going against the interests of powerful people. There is no evidence he has ever stood up to do the right thing on principle.
