No, you are right not to put any polit on a pedestal, it should be a boring job where everyone is working for the people. Net, net her advocacy for consumers has been positive and ruffled the feathers of big business. Doing something right.

Reaganomics + neoliberalism + Greenspan libertarianism.

Unleash freedom for markets, money and corporations, democracy, human rights, ethics and morals be damned! Exorbitant growth in the pocketbooks of the few, big crumbs for those in charge, govts and politicians. Sinema quickly learned this.

Never underestimate the ability of banking and finance to invent new financial products and then tell you how it's beneficial for everyone. (See financial crisis and derivatives for good example of this money making house of cards)

Thank goodness for polits like Warren, a regular target of repubs and wealthy individuals, greedy corps and crypto bros.

*As others pointed, like many other polits, Warren too should be called out for insider-trading. We need less cheerleading and greater accountability. Thank you folks for educating me on this.

Facebook and Instagram, two of the worst digital creations of all time in terms of sheer damage to human beings.

Yes there are re-enactments in documentaries but this was using actual photos of the subject. I def have a problem with that. It's exploitive at the very least and reminds of the AI shitshow to come. Disclosure should be on the damn picture itself, not in the credits.

Re-enactments have actors and no one confuses them for the actual subjects. If you dont have enough material, don't make a 'true crime documentary'.
