yeah. not really. that isn t really how it worked in the real world. the corvair was beautiful. it was hot. but remember that rollover? right away the corvair became known for catastrophic wrecks. for deadly rollovers, for fatal spinouts. and in 1965, it was first introduced in 1960, 1965 up popped an eloquent young activist who says those rollovers, those fatal wrecks, that wasn t a surprise. the company that made that car knew it would be a death trap and they sold it like that anyway. he wrote a book about it called unsafe at any speed. he called the corvair a one-car accident. and it worked. gm halted the production of the corvair four years later. in addition to ending the chevy corvair, that activist, ralph nader, he brought us life savers like seat belts and head rests
have been so far telegraphed in advance it wasn t a surprise. what are we doing hearing? what is improving and what is not? what systemly are the places to apply pressure to sort of address the problem that is indisputably at a higher level of salience but maybe is not being addressed yet. so it s interesting one of the things that you hear like the left is always at war with itself in one way or another. one of the things that you heard earlier in the year was had question about disruption. and how valuable that was as a political tactic when you saw bernie sanders disrupted multiple times and the attempt to disrupt hillary clinton s rallies and so on. some people said can black lives matter do anything but disrupt. but when you look at what happened yesterday, what happened with sandra bland about ten days ago, a little bit less and the kind of trajectory we ve seen over the course of this year, it becomes clear that you re relying on the mechanisms
