Really great article from my friend Hunter Walk on #Reinventing the Chamber of Commerce, which is especially relevant given how the US Chamber of Commerce has been tending to side with the MPAA and RIAA rather than actual small businesses, startups, and tech communities.
Anyone makes a career of politics is nothing but political pathologic liar to start with.
Perhaps I’m naive or mistaken or just idealistic, but if this was true then . Things are generally getting better, and with more reinvention of many political systems & ideologies, people can aspire to their best selves and accomplish great things. …And one doesn’t need to lie to get things done inside or outside of politics.
…then nothing, nowhere, would work for the public good – and that’s a broad & incorrect assumption..
Where is the original article on Reinventng the Chamber of Commerce?
I would like to read it?
It’s linked in the blog post.
Matt, the US Chamber of Commerce has been similarly on climate. See, for example: http://grist.org/climate-change/2011-02-22-the-u-s-chamber-of-commerce-darkens-the-skies/. Maybe we can collectively turn things around.
