Marianne Williamson on TechnologyAuthor & Democratic Presidential Challenger | |
SEVEN CANDIDATES HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS: Michael Bennet; Joseph Biden, Jr.; Peter Buttigieg; Julian Castro; Seth Moulton; Bernard Sanders; Andrew Yang.
A majority of candidates with expressed views on infrastructure funding are long on ideas for how to spend billions--sometimes trillions--of dollars, but short on where that money would come from. Silent, in fact.
Marianne Williamson's proposal includes accelerating electric vehicles and their charging infrastructure, rebuilding rail lines, updating clean water systems and "massively investing" in public transit.
Michael Bennet has said he will "work to" fix crumbling infrastructure, expand transit and airports, and build out rural broadband.
FOUR CANDIDATES HAVE SIMILAR VIEWS: Bill de Blasio; Tulsi Gabbard; Bernard Sanders; Elizabeth Warren.
Sen. Warren laid down a marker by calling for Facebook, Google, Amazon and Apple to be broken apart, saying the companies should be designated as "platform utilities" and prohibited from both owning a platform and competing on it. Williamson told the Times she has "no problem with the idea of breaking some of these companies up."
