google threw this at me. i didn't look for it. i guess i recently posted about journalism, and about the hell's (in the rebuild), and it constructed it for me via the magic of algorithms. great.

but, it's an interesting thing to watch re: the question of google stealing profits from journalists.

i guess what's underlying this, really, is a question of a division of labour. and, i suppose a fast way to summarize my position is to simply state that the accounting process is so reductionist, so difficult to calculate, that doing so is virtually impossible. and, again: that's a standard position on the left.

i think i'd expect warren to push through a policy based on a reductionist concept of the division of labour. sanders, less so.
