The Verge’s editorial on October 29th is a good piece about what was at stake in the election: https://www.theverge.com/24282022/kamala-harris-endorsement-presidential-election-2024
It captures what is (should be?) the purpose of government. And how the voting public has completely missed that.
The Verge has its roots deep in tech. But that shouldn’t be an obstacle for your students.

Nice piece by Doctorow. For me, the essential point is that no single for-profit entity is capable of mediating the interests of all of humanity, or even 10% of it. It necessarily puts its interests ahead of all whom it purports to serve.
