I have tried, although casually, to read Bloomberg's platform

Last edited Tue Feb 4, 2020, 12:25 PM - Edit history (1)

I have been to several sites that have a lot of general information. One was an expansion of his site to images. Does anybody have the name or link to his actual campaign site that explains his plans?

"Sight" refers to vision.

Thank you for pointing out that Bloomberg needs to expand his policy information.

3. It follows a visio linked flow-chart/plan design.

His platform main page is here
https://www.mikebloomberg.com/getting-it-done

This only gives you the top level of each of the main topics.

You have to select an issue that you are interested in. Then it breaks down into a summary of his position. If the plan is concise, it may be laid out at that link (for example, if you select foreign policy, everything is at that link with a summary, and his record on it.) others, you have the option to drill down even further in detail. For example, if you look at his climate change link, it gives you the same summary opening, but below has a bunch of additional, more specific plan links like "clean power", clean buildings, transportation, international climate, etc.. Then some of those can even be drilled down further, for example under clean buildings, there's a group of additional article specific links at the bottom targeting more specific aspects.

5. I'm also wondering how on earth a search missed it since

Feb 2020

a few variations bring it up, AND he bought up various website names. But now you have it. Any comments on the results of casual perusal?

I like Mike's story starting out "MB is a middle class kid." Yes, that was his start. I casually scanned down to see where he believes himself to currently be among the 14th or 20th wealthiest individuals on the entire planet, but it doesn't say.

Here's the very detailed plans section.

Here's something of interest to me. I didn't know this. Reminds me of my disgust when a bright, happy college girl said she was caucusing for Bernie Sanders because of climate change. God!!! Can only hope these things make colleges realize how dreadfully they're failing many students.

Climate Change Fighting for a bright, sustainable future

Mike is a global leader in the fight against the climate crisis and has helped drive progress on every continent through his role as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Envoy for Climate Action. He has worked with cities, states, and businesses to keep our country moving forward on climate change despite President Trump’s failed attempts to drag us backwards. As president, Mike will ensure the federal government leads an ambitious agenda to accelerate the U.S. toward a clean energy economy, putting us on the pathway to full decarbonization before mid-century.

6. If he was using Bing as his search engine, I could see it happening

I have done searches on Bing for things like "Dominos Pizza" or "Wells Fargo", and the businesses actual web pages are buried under other hits.

It's why I use Google most of the time.
