Dylanisms | Podcast Mixes Celebrating Bob Dylan Cover Versions

His speech was followed by an influential study on “#EducationalTelevision” from the Carnegie Corporation. It concluded that the #FederalGovernment should finance a system of stations to produce programming that was “of human interest & importance” without regard for the free-market incentives of ratings or ad revenue. The Johnson admin then did just that, in line with its #GreatSociety program.

The reason it’ll be semi-successful is because the average citizen has not been #ExtremelyOnline for 3+ decades to grok it all.
A quotation from Johnson, Lyndon:
«
But, most of all, the Great Society is not a safe harbor, a resting place, a final objective, a finished work. It is a challenge constantly renewed, beckoning us toward a destiny where the meaning of our lives matches the marvelous products of our labor.

✡️ Today's Jew of the Day is Wilbur J. Cohen!
Wilbur Joseph Cohen was one of the key figures in the United States that is responsible for the social services that many Americans rely on today. He was one of the key authors of the Medicare, Medicaid, the New Deal and Great Society programs, which shifted US society and culture towards supporting those in need.

Take the #ChildTaxCredit. This is the most successful social program in living memory, a single initiative that did more to lift American children out of poverty than any other since the days of the #GreatSociety. It turns out that giving poor people money makes them less poor, which is weird, because neoliberal economists have spent decades assuring us that this is not the case:
