The polling data tell us that the election was mostly about the economy. Now that we’re through election season, more attention will surely be devoted to what research shows is the best way of stimulating both economic growth and economic mobility: education. No one should be happy with what we’re getting for the $800 billion a year we spend on our K-12 schools, including mediocre test scores compared to other rich countries and large disparities in learning outcomes between rich and poor.

There is an implicit war underway within the tech world between good and, if not quite “evil,” then at least “not good.” Good is not winning because it’s massively outgunned. Nowhere is this easier to see than in the exploitation and harming of women. Big Tech is making a fortune in ways that are not obviously in the best interests of the women in our lives.
