the Big Data guys of Silicon Valley sweating.

Her knowledge of finance Big Data networks has Wall Street sweating, too.

That she knows these things makes her a LOT better than Yang, who will only do banks' and Silicon Valley's bidding in keeping the data surveillance business model untouched.

I'm really leaning toward Warren, too.

And if Biden wins over her, he'd do well to make them all sweat by making her his running mate.

in oversight over Wall St and Silicon Valley. I just don't know which one it is.

Because she can get a lot more done when/if Silicon Valley people took her cabinet decisions to court, than she could if she just sat in the Senate.

But maybe not, because being VP doesn't mean she wouldn't be a valuable resource for Biden, though, which could REALLY position her in 2024.

back in the 1990's, my ex had worked for a local newspaper before she met me, and one of her favorite sayings was, "Don't get into a fight with a man who buys his ink by the barrel."

Of course, ink is becoming archaic, but the saying might well apply to a powerful leader of a social media platform as well...
