Ngomsombuluko, intatheli kanye nesishoshovu esiqhubekayo U-Benjamin Dixon uthumele umsindo wenkulumo eyanikezwa yi-Bloomberg e-Aspen Institute ngo-2015. Kuyo, i-Bloomberg ichaza isizathu sakhe sokuma nokushuba. Njengoba "amaphesenti angu-95" "ababulali nababulali nezisulu zokubulala" bangamadoda amnyama namaLatino aphakathi kweminyaka eyishumi nesithupha namashumi amabili nanhlanu, washo okungalungile, bekuyi kuyadingeka ukuze:
Sebenzisa imali eningi, ubeke amaphoyisa amaningi emgwaqweni, ubeke lawo maphoyisa lapho ubugebengu bukhona, okusezindaweni ezincane. Ngakho-ke lokhu - omunye wemiphumela ebingahlosiwe ukuthi, abantu bathi, "O Nkulunkulu wami, ubopha izingane ngensangu eziyingcosana." Yebo, lokho kuyiqiniso. Kungani? Ngoba sibeka wonke amaphoyisa ezindaweni eziyidlanzana. Yebo, lokho kuyiqiniso. Kungani sikwenza? Ngoba yilapho bonke ubugebengu bukhona. Futhi into yokuqala ongayenzela abantu ukubavimba ukuthi babulawe.
UBloomberg wengeze ngokuthi, “Indlela okhipha ngayo izibhamu ezandleni zezingane iwukuba uzijikijele odongeni bese uziqhumisa.” Lo msindo oshubile wasakazeka ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, futhi ngokushesha waba sematheni ku Washington Post futhi New York Times.
Kodwa akubona bonke abasamukela lesi sambulo. UCristina Alesci we-CNN usolwa ukuthi okurekhodiwe akuthembeki ngenxa yemibono ka-Dixon yezepolitiki. "I-podcaster nombhali okhiphe lo msindo ngokusobala ungumsekeli kaBernie," kusho yena. Uphinde waphakamisa imibuzo mayelana nokuvela komsindo, osekuyiminyaka utholakala esidlangalaleni ku-YouTube. U-Alesci uyintatheli yangaphambili yezezimali yeBloomberg News.
Lapho intatheli ibuza iBloomberg mayelana nala mazwi, uthe, “Angicabangi ukuthi lawo mazwi awabonisi lokho, indlela engahola ngayo idolobha elihluke kakhulu esizweni. Futhi ngiyaxolisa ngomkhuba nobuhlungu obububangele.” Wengeze wathi, “Kwakuyiminyaka emihlanu edlule. Futhi, uyazi, akuyona nje indlela engicabanga ngayo futhi ... ayibonisi lokho engikwenzayo nsuku zonke. Ngahola idolobha elinabantu abaningi, elikhulu kunawo wonke e-United States futhi ngaphinde ngakhethwa kathathu, umphakathi wabonakala uthanda engikwenzayo.”
Abaningi babonakala bekulungele ukwamukela ukuxolisa kukaBloomberg, kodwa hhayi uBenjamin Dixon. Jacobin umlobi wezisebenzi uMeagan Day ukhulume noDixon mayelana nencazelo yamazwana kaBloomberg mayelana nokuma kancane, ubungozi bomkhankaso wakhe ocwiliswe yimali, nokuthi kungani abaningi kwabezindaba nakwezombusazwe bemanqikanqika ukumgxeka.
Umsindo osisabalalisile usitshelani mayelana nombono ka-Michael Bloomberg?
Umsindo uyembula ngempela. Okokuqala kusinika ithuba lokubona ngaphakathi ekhanda lakhe ukuthi ucabangani ngabancane, ikakhulukazi amadoda amnyama nansundu. Usebenzisa lesi sibalo esiyiphutha, esiwukuthi amaphesenti angu-95 ababulali nezisulu ahambisana nale ncazelo. Kuyinkolelo ka-Bloomberg ebambeke ngokujulile ukuthi lesi sibalo sabantu siyingozi. Futhi kubonakala kuwumbono womhlaba ocatshangelwe ngokucophelela. Ekuxoliseni kwakhe ngokuma nokushuba kanye nalawa mazwana, asiboni cishe izinga elifanayo lokunakekela, ukucabangela, kanye nokucophelela asondela ngakho encazelweni yokuthi kungani amadoda asemancane amnyama nansundu kudingeka aqondiswe ngamaphoyisa.
Kodwa okulalelwayo kubuye kusibonise into yesibili, okuwumqondo wefilosofi yakhe ebusayo. IBloomberg ikholelwa ukuthi kuyadingeka ukusebenzisa amandla anonya ukubhekana nezinkinga zomphakathi. Uma uhlanganisa lo msindo nokuthethelela kwakhe enye inqubomgomo yesiginesha, intela ye-soda, uqaphela izinga elifanayo lobaba. Ukuze kubhekwane nemikhuba emibi yokudla yabantu abampofu, i-Bloomberg iphakamise ukubakhokhisa intela ngaleyo mikhuba. Ibonisa umbono othile ngohulumeni. Singasebenzisa uhulumeni ukukhuthaza inhlalakahle evamile ngokubhekana nezinkinga zesistimu eziwumsuka ezibangela ubumpofu nodlame, noma singasebenzisa uhulumeni ukujezisa abantu ukuze kuzuze bona. Ku-Bloomberg, eyokugcina.
Kungani abanye abezindaba bezivikela kangaka ngomsindo owusabalalisile?
Yebo-ke, kwavela ukuthi umlobeli we-CNN owabuza ukuthi ngabe lo msindo ungathenjwa usebenzela iBloomberg News. Kuyisu lakudala. Ukuze uthole indlela yokuvikela uMichael Bloomberg emazwini akhe, okuyi-ajenda yakhe, ungibekela i-ajenda. Kodwa ukuhlasela umthombo akusebenzi, ngoba lawo ngamazwi akhe. Isiqeshana sesineminyaka sikhona. Kungithathe imizuzu engamashumi amathathu nje yocwaningo ukuze ngiyithole. Iqiniso lokuthi ngingumsekeli kaBernie Sanders alinangqondo ngokuphelele.
Ukusabela okufanayo okuvela kwamanye amalungu emidiya evamile kukhuluma ngendima yawo kuyo yonke igeyimu, okuwukuvikela izinsiza zabo nokufinyelela kwabo. Benza noma yini abangayenza ukuze bavikele iBloomberg ngoba iBloomberg inemali, futhi iyayisebenzisa. Abezindaba bangawuqeda umkhankaso wakhe njengamanje ngokubuza eminye yemibuzo iLeft eyibuza ku-Twitter, kodwa akunjalo, ngoba imali yaseBloomberg nokufinyelela kuhamba ibanga elide.
Bengilokhu ngikhankasa cishe maviki onke kusukela ngo-Okthoba. Ngempelasonto edlule ngivakashele isigaba sabasebenzi, ikakhulukazi abantu abamnyama e-East Oakland, futhi kungazelelwe ngezwa okuningi nge-Bloomberg. Lokhu kwakungakaze kwenzeke ngaphambili - engingakutshela ukuthi kwenzeka ngobusuku obubodwa. Ukwesekwa kwabamnyama kwe-Bloomberg kuyadlondlobala, futhi ngike ngabona izingxoxo ezithile mayelana nokuthi i-Bloomberg ihileleke ekukhangiseni okuhloswe ukucwasa ngokwebala. Ucabanga ukuthi kuyenzeka lokho?
Lokhu kuwukuqagela nje, kodwa ngokungananazi, abantu abaningi engixhumene nabo emphakathini omnyama basho into efanayo: Ngisanda kubona esinye isikhangiso saseBloomberg. Ngibone kuFacebook. Ngiyibone ngenkathi ngidlala i-Words with Friends. Ngihlatshwe umxhwele abantu bomphakathi wethu bethi bazizwa begcwele izikhangiso ze-Bloomberg, futhi lokho okwenzeka kuyo yonke indawo kangangoba sekufike lapho abantu bebuza imibuzo, nakuba singazazi izimpendulo. Ngizwile okungenani isiqinisekiso esisodwa esivela kumthombo sokuthi wenza ama-ad buys emsakazweni wabamnyama. Futhi kubonakala kusebenza, ngokwengxenye ngoba abantu abahlobanisi i-Bloomberg nokuma nokushuba. Bahlobanisa lokho noGiuliani, noma ngabe iBloomberg yayinomthwalo wemfanelo ngakho.
Kukhona nosopolitiki abansundu abaqavile nabezindaba abacula izingoma zikaBloomberg. Ingabe bayamthanda ngempela, naphezu komlando wakhe wokwengamela isu lamaphoyisa anobandlululo?
Anginalwazi. Kodwa ubheka umuntu ofana noJason Johnson, onePhD, futhi kuyamangaza ubude azobuvikela ngokungaqondile uMichael Bloomberg. Kudingekani ukuze umuntu afunde futhi ahlonishwe njengaye futhi asho kanjalo ukuhlazeka futhi izinto ezingenangqondo? Ukukholelwa lezi zinto ngokwakhe, ngaphandle kwethonya ngandlela thile noma ngenye, kusho ukuthi sidinga ngempela ukuba nengxoxo ngamakhono akhe okucabanga.
Anginazo izimpendulo zalokho okwenzeka ngemuva. Kepha ngicabanga ukuthi kuyethusa ukuthi iBloomberg wathela amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-5 ungene enhlanganweni kaStacey Abrams'Fair Fight, bese kuba yiBloomberg uvele emcimbini naye. Isinyathelo sika-Stacey Abrams siyimbangela enkulu, futhi sidinga imali. Kodwa okwenzekayo manje ukuthi kuzoba nzima kakhulu kuStacey Abrams, ongomunye wabesifazane abamnyama abanamandla futhi abanethonya ezweni, ukuthi anikeze noma yikuphi ukugxeka ngowesilisa ongase abe umengameli olandelayo wase-United States futhi. onomlando wokucwasa ngokwebala.
Futhi akudingeki ukuthi anikeze imali ngokuqondile ukuze afeze lokhu. Ubona zonke lezi Bloomberg iziqinisekiso ezivela kuzimeya bangene, futhi kuvele ukuthi bonke badlule ohlelweni lokuqeqeshwa komeya eHarvard oluxhaswe yiBloomberg. Ngokubakhipha endizeni nokunikeza lezi zikhathi zokuqeqesha, engiqinisekile ukuthi kuyinto enhle kakhulu, uyakwazi ukuthonya laba bantu ngenxa yemali yakhe.
Futhi abantu bayayidinga ngempela imali. Ngakho-ke nakhu kufika indoda ebiza izigidigidi, ekwazi nje ukuvula i-pocketbook yayo futhi isebenzise amanani angasho lutho kuye kodwa eyenza umehluko omkhulu kosopolitiki, abaqondisi besisekelo, nabanye abantu abanethonya. Akubona bonke labo bantu abayomsekela, kodwa uma kufanele bathule ekugxekeni kwabo, nakanjani bayomsekela. Ukuthi indoda eyodwa ingaba nemali eningi kangangokuthi izinkulungwane zabantu abanethonya ezweni lonke ziyamvikela noma zihluleke ukumgxeka njengoba egaqele isikhundla sikamengameli kuyicala lohlelo lwethu.
