Episode 144: Reed Hastings (Netflix)
🕑 Added 2020-02-28 16:49:13 +0000 UTCWe discuss Netflix CEO and charter school/Pete Buttegieg pushing billionaire Reed Hastings. Hear about his humble upbringing in a private New England prep school and how he pushed out everyone who helped him build the company he oversees today. This Scion has employees so terrified that even the Wall Street journal notes Netflix as an example of abusive corporate culture. Good thing he’s a major player in the Democratic Party! You know the one that used to have unions in it.
Note: We discuss Rocketship charters as one particularly egregious example of the network of charters he funds but it is certainly not the only one. A further read can be found here:

"Kevin, 99% of what you do on that show is real. The 1% you get wrong is you could never get an education bill passed that fast," Spacey said, recounting Clinton's comment. Despite the showrunner for House of Cards, Beau Willimon, having been a former aide to Chuck Schumer, Howard Dean and Hillary Clinton, the show is a dark comedy about the Clintons. I'm always surprised fellow lefties don't love it. VEEP is absolutely delicious in the way it roasts Hillary and the soulless staffers. There's a clip for everything that Hillary does and I love it! https://www.vox.com/2016/3/9/11184618/house-of-cards-review-netflix-season-4-clintons
