Review: A Fighting Chance
A Fighting Chance by Elizabeth Warren
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In lieu of a review, I’d like to share 2 quotes that I especially liked —
“Sure, government fails sometimes. (By the way, corporations fail sometimes, too.) But I don’t believe the response to government failure — such as the inept response to Hurricane Katrina or the slew of failures that led to the financial crisis — should be a snarky “I told you so” or a heavy sigh of resignation. No: the response should be *outrage*. The government — *our* government — should be held to a higher standard.” (p.186)
“How do we build a future? I made the case for what I believe: We are stronger and wealthier because of the things we build together. We are more secure when we create a foundation that allows each of us to have a decent chance to build something on our own. We are better off when we invest in one another. It’s economics and values, tied tightly together.” (p.216)
Every time I’m tempted to buy a lever-filler….
… I remember this —
— and the many, many hours it’ll take to soften and scrape all the rubber sac gunk from that J bar, and from the inside of the barrel and the section.
(Which reminds me – I should get around to removing all the latex sacs from my lever-fillers in storage.)
