Best Quote by Lina Khan
“I think a system where you're putting the burden on, under-resourced civil society groups, under-resourced academics, under-resourced public servants, is just going to create a system where you're endlessly doing cleanup rather than addressing things on the front end by the actors that are best positioned to do that.”
