Thread: This week's #Top5 things you need to read to understand #tech’s impact on our economy. Curated by @TEcollab's Executive Director @cbracy 👇
1. In a week when Amazon announced they’d raise the minimum wage for all employees to $15/hour, Uber’s CEO mused about the possibility of providing drivers with benefits: bit.ly/2Nn0xsv
2. I just finished a great new book that has me thinking a lot about the role the tech elite play in entrenching inequality, @winnerstakeall. If you don’t want to read the whole thing, check out this comprehensive conversation with the author @AnandWrites: bit.ly/2pAXcfQ
3. With #Prop10 dominating conversation ahead of next month’s election, the LA Times zooms in on Mountain View as an object lesson in rent control: lat.ms/2OFcKxm
4. @pahlkadot (my old boss) has a thoughtful and cautionary take on recent tech employee rebellions against their companies’ government contracts: bit.ly/2NmgqiR
5. We’ll have a round-up of all the recent housing legislation Governor Brown signed last month (the end of this year’s legislative session) but for now we’re excited to see that a bill to legalize dense housing on BART-owned land has been approved: bit.ly/2NoqxUd
That's a wrap 🎬 Come back in a week for the next #Top5. Alternatively, sign up for our newsletter and get it directly to your inbox: techequitycollaborative.org
