i grew up in a country -- the difference between us, i think, is we look alike, but you grew up in shakeris an upper class suburb of ohio. i grew up in india. i grew up in a country where it wasn't where billionaires and millionaires were treated like dirt, business was treated as a second-class citizen. it was the pliltitions and bureaucrats who made all the decisions about how to allocate resources. that didn't work out so well. politicians and bureaucrats turned out to be as egotistical and corrupt and hypocritical as the businessmen you point to. first of all, there has been astonishing progress but, b, what's your alternative? >> i think there are many places in the world that are doing particular things better that we can learn from. i don't think there's one model about the nordic model. if an american consisted -- ame four blond people with everyone else being nordic people, the model wouldn't be correct. >> a lot of the problem isn't about economics, it's about the fact they don't like brown people coming into their country. >> so what can we do? i think we can start acknowledgin

i grew up in the social media age. chopaths out there who will do anything so i trained myself to find it objectively funny which it mostly was, i can get a kick out of it. it seems to me, to coin a cliche, you've been on an extraordinary journey in the past year and made some decisions which reflect changing yourself. for example, having led the march for our lives movement, from the february shooting through the summer, by september 2018, you decided you needed to walk away from it and you talked about the degree to which you regretted some of the decisions you'd taken. i don't think those were any organisational decisions. here and there, as part of march for our lives, i may regret working with somebody, no more than it was a waste of time, some organisations reached out to us which were not that helpful, but the things i regretted were all on a personal level. that was blatantly taken out of context by a lot of right—wing pundits who want to say, "see, this whole thing was a regret." i regret saying the name of the

during the 1980s and 1990s i grew a small non-profit organization with children's services and guiding it into a multimillion dollar organization that is now the city's largest early historic provider. i led coalitions to advocate for programs that today serve tens of thousands of san franciscoians and low-income san franciscoians and their families every single year. from the san francisco headstart program, the aging parent education network, to san francisco child care providers' association, and to chinatown beacon center and a well-known city-run preschool program, these wins have never been about me, but always about the community. by fou 200 had i 2004 i found mo make more policy. and as a parent of public school kids, i ran and served two terms on the board of education. i am proud of the policies that were passed during my tenure, but i am perhaps most proud that i played a part in shifting the dynamics of the board from one of acrimony and politics to one of civility and student-centered policy discussions. this is going to be my seventh year as a supervisor. i am honored to
