They now talk about speeches Hillary gave to “executives” and “bankers” at finance companies, and how terrible it was, and they have no idea what they are talking about. and that’s unfortunate and annoying.

My old company had often invited successful people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Craig Newmark (of Craigslist), Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl Wu Dunn to give talks.
The “executives” and “bankers” in the auditorium were mostly low-level and unimportant people like me – it would be anyone who signed up quickly enough and felt it was important to learn from them.
My old company clearly felt that it was important to keep their people aware of the world greater than themselves and how what they do every day affects it. They actively pushed their people to be civically engaged, run for office, participate in nonprofits, volunteer, and give back in any way they could – and simply being aware and inspired is the first stepping stone. The crappy mediocre company I worked for last certainly did not care for anything like it, and this one is too small to afford it – and that’s too bad.
