I think it's shady in that people don't exactly know where all the money comes from or, like, what their goals are.

Yeah, yeah.

She also pinned an essay in 2013 that the right wing is going nuts about because she was basically arguing that, like,

It good and evil are less a factor in what people do than environmental factors and all that stuff.

Like when people do things that are bad, it's more often a product of their invite.

It was kind of a oh, God, what's that fucking psychoanalysis?

It was like a Skinner type argument where it's like, well, people have bad inputs in their youth and that's going to determine.

Anyway, I think that's funny given what happens.

I'm going to guess she sucks at what she's she's she sucks.

And so does his dad, Joseph Bankman.

Oh, good.

Joseph is also a lawyer.

He is a graduate from Yale.

His big claim to fame was developing a proposal for an overhaul of the California tax return system that would have filled out citizens tax returns in advance.

And I know I just said he sucked, but actually that sounds like a good thing.

I think that that's actually a cool thing to advocate for.

The measure failed by one vote after heavy lobbying from Intuit, a tax prep software company.

One vote.

Yeah, it kind of is.

It's it's total bullshit because stuff it's the thing everybody agrees with on paper, but nobody will actually fight the tax prep companies, which is like, hey, the IRS like knows more or less what I make and like knows more or less what I owe.
