helped railroads avoid paying to cleanup their Superfund site pollution

you know, like that Ohio thing? Shoutout to the woke DSA left who deludes themselves into thinking their "Walmart is a model for a planned society" is not neoliberal Federalist Society Reaganite ideology.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has become one of the nation’s most outspoken advocates for the importance of accessible childcare

"access to healthcare" hey how about we get "access to guillotines" you fucking lying hackfrauds

Like everyone else who covered the 2020 campaign, I had already heard the story about Aunt Bee, the elderly aunt who came to help Warren with her children while she was a young mom teaching law.

Aunt Bee is an offensive stereotype of indigenous Americans I assume LOL

But it turns out that childcare is the foundation on which a woman can build her career, and that Warren’s childcare story and her parenthood story are inseparable. If she hadn’t left her job as a teacher when she had her first baby, Warren may never have gone to law school in the first place. But if Aunt Bee hadn’t shown up when she did, Warren says she never would have been able to stick with her law career

nice try whitewashing, we have the receipts:

"Against that backdrop, some of Ms. Warren’s critics have seized upon her bankruptcy work for LTV and other big corporations to question the depth of her progressive bona fides. How, they wonder, could someone whose reputation is built on consumer advocacy have represented a company seeking to avoid paying for retired miners’ health care?"

"bankruptcy work for LTV" this is the closest that PMC DSA radlibs will ever get to learning about Labor Theory of Value :dril:

Among her corporate clients were Travelers insurance and the aircraft maker Fairchild, as well as one of America’s wealthiest families, the Hunts of Texas. She advocated for a railroad company that wanted to avoid paying for a Superfund cleanup, and advised Dow Chemical as its subsidiary Dow Corning dealt with thousands of complaints from women who said they had been harmed by its silicone breast implants.

In very brief and simplified summaries, the lists cast much of her work — even for corporate clients — in terms that align with her pro-consumer narrative. Those descriptions have themselves become a focus of some contention.

Her work, the scholars say, should be understood primarily as an effort to preserve the right to file for bankruptcy and the integrity of the bankruptcy system.

woke DSA: "fuck Stalinism, I believe in liberty for individual consumers to make their own personal choices in the free market"

    “Walmart is a model for a planned society”

    uhhh do people actually think this or are they taking corporate central planning as evidence that a body accountable to people could do planning on that scale?

    Warren was doing Federalist Society gigs in the 90s that's enough to write her off.
