Gregory's ServerRich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to.

@AliceMarshall very hard to build a decent world together when the most powerful and influential people believe they have a better backup only they have access to.
@AliceMarshall
Would making the wealthy and the powerful suffer like the rest of us do anything to ease our suffering? If we're going to make a list of "shoulds," I'd go the other way:
- Public schools should be as good as private schools.
- Public transit should be as good as limos.
- Public healthcare should be as good as expensive doctors.
- All of the airport security lines should be as fast as the fastest ones.
