What does that mean?
So working with the Department of Justice to close down pill mills and tackle the opioid epidemic.
Also going after the big banks for their role in the Great Recession.
While I led the project, we recovered $20 billion for taxpayers from the big banks.
I worked with the CDC to better track epidemics.
I worked with the VA to better serve our veterans.
It was about making use of data to make government actually function and work.
Yeah, it's the right question to ask.
And ultimately, we shouldn't be just trusting corporations to make these decisions.
This is why you need people in Congress that actually understand the technology and how these contracts work to pass a privacy law that we are 30 years out of date of doing.
And now with AI needs to be updated even more.
But the specifics on the ground of the work that I did was data that the government already had access to and making better use of it to actually achieve its goals.

Border crimes that are not controversial for the government to want to work on and solve.

That for me was the red line.
And so when they told us that, that's when I made plans to quit.
