They're just laughing at you. I kept saying "Yellen was giving speeches to investment banks, she was for NAFTA, she wanted to repeal Glass-Steagall"

...and "progressives" couldn't stop talking about what a smart pick she was. It all feels so fucking hopeless. https://twitter.com/zerohedge/status/1344810170497560577
"Ah, Biden could have picked someone who works on Wall Street!"

Yeah, instead he picked a deficit hawk who's bought by Wall Street. Super.
Look, just because Janet Yellen took $217,000 to make a single-speech to Citigroup last year and then took $217,000 to make *another* speech to Citigroup the very next day doesn't mean she'll go easy on the financial industry.

I'm sure she's just a really riveting speaker!
