    Goddam nepotism and he’s an asshole working for Uber!
    That’s a very bad choice IMO, even if he is good at it, it doesn’t look good.

      Not just nepotism, but also possibly inciting family drama along with it (at least that’s what happened last time, in 2020). Plus all the shit with union busting and Uber.

      I hate everything about this tbh.

        Not good. How many jokes / stories featuring a brother-in-law end well.

          Maybe saw it but pressured to use him? a brother in law would know too much about her personal life if you know what I mean

        No he is not, he is volunteering. But it’s still problematic to put him in such a high position.

    Her brother-in-law Tony West is an anti-labor/union busting top lawyer (Chief Legal Officer) at Uber. He’s a piece of shit.

    Kamala Harris’ brother-in-law is the public face of Uber’s fight with labor. It’s awkward.

    Uber Says New California Employment Law Doesn’t Matter Because Rides Aren’t Its Core Business

    Chief legal officer Tony West told reporters that the new law doesn’t matter at all to Uber–because providing rides is not its primary business. If that statement makes you feel like you just stepped through the looking glass, you’re not alone.

    IDK about brother-in-law, but she now has most of the Obama campaign folks working for her. They’ve been known to win some elections

      For close relations like that? Special presidential advisor. Transportation Secretary is for secondary nepotism.

        Or as compensation for dropping out of the primary at the right time.

      It is nepotism and we should give her shit for it.

      Don’t endanger the fucking election to toss a bone at your family.

        Maybe he’ll be the new FTC person. The current one is too effective.

      As the other posted commented. This is actually just textbook nepotism. It’s like if she accepted a couple gold bars from Egypt and you said “I wonder how soon the GOP will shamelessly cry corruption at this”.
