is he charismatic, compelling, a physical embodiment of hope and the future?
well, yeah: he’s a package deal
but his insincerity screams through
and he takes zero criticism: he won’t answer anything he doesn’t want to
he’s a avoider
and he blocks ppl

plus inappropriate conduct & talk with an underaged female
suraj addresses these scandals in a medium post where he describes being the victim of racism but never quite gets to the allegations made against him about the minor and the apps
so that doesn’t get my vote

and that was lauren’s role at jp morgan: compliance
compliance people, providing they’re not corrupt (buncha that in corp
), are the best type of finservs folks to go into government: coz they really get it, biz & legal, and they’re out to protect people not just property/banks

so we had that in common
lauren understood why amazon was so bad: why its corporate culture is inexcusable & just how depravedly greedy it is as an organization
but lauren’s superpower is her ease and motivation in advocating for some of the most neglected ppl in our community

lauren is at our public housing complexes regularly: she is committed to fighting the privatization of nycha (as i am too) but she’s also using her voice and platform to get services for tenants
she uses her platform to scream for those services so that all of us in our bubbles
she uses her platform to scream for those services so that all of us in our bubbles
may be better aware of how our neighbors, all our neighbors (many times our essential services and worker neighbors) struggle with how neglected their homes are
nycha closes incomplete work orders *all the time* even when no one’s visited the home
the cruelty is the point

and lauren has been another voice, another pressure, another witness (with a camera), another tweet, another insistence to get repairs made when no other resource has worked
nycha residents need their neighbors to stand next to them when they fight for services and against priv
nycha residents need their neighbors to stand next to them when they fight for services and against priv
because most of their neighbors either don’t know or don’t care or don’t believe how truly bad & corrupt nycha can be and how harsh some living conditions really are
lauren remains to this day, a ready resource, a ready voice, a ready camera and platform: here for her neighbors
lauren remains to this day, a ready resource, a ready voice, a ready camera and platform: here for her neighbors
a compliance geek who is routinely and actively here for her community and neighbors
