“The phrase 'misuse of privilege' is becoming a free pass to tear apart...” — Jon Ronson Quote

The phrase 'misuse of privilege' is becoming a free pass to tear apart pretty much anybody we choose to. It's becoming a devalued term, and it's making us lose our capacity for empathy and for distinguishing between serious and unserious transgressions.

Shaming is powerful and useful. I'm living in New York, and my instinct is that, after the Black Lives Matter protests, which were organized on social media, the chance of there being another Eric Garner, choked to death in New York by an NYPD officer, has diminished.

In many cases, the reason why our child development centers are not at full capacity is that we have an insufficient number of providers.
