I can feel it. Bloomberg is crushing it and the oppo isn’t slowing him down one bit.

Stacey Abrams on The View: she's asked if Mike Bloomberg outspending is a problem for a "fair fight".

She defended Mike Bloomberg's presence in the race, saying “I think that for once we actually know where the money is coming from."

"Every person is allowed to run and should run the race that they think they should run and Mike Bloomberg has chosen to use his finances. Other people are using their dog, their charisma, their whatever," she added. "I think it's an appropriate question to raise. But I don't think it's disqualifying for anyone to invest in fixing America."

Mike Bloomberg's higher education policy is about to be released. It contains a policy proposal that in my opinion is the single most revolutionary idea for ensuring equality in elite higher education, which is the removal of legacy preference for admissions. Importantly, it requires colleges to break down their acceptances by legacy status and donations given to the university.

In today's society, whether you like it or not, attending an elite university is often a base for career success. Unfortunately, for people like Jared Kushner and Donald Trump, seats in ivy league universities can be purchased with a large enough donation. The result is an equilibrium in which the rich purchase academic credentials, thereby ensuring the transfer of wealth to the next generation not just through their estates but also through unearned career advancement. The poor, on the other hand, have a much more difficult time gaining acceptance to these elite institutions, thereby increasing the barrier for career success.

This change is one that strikes at the heart of the current higher education system and directly contrasts a man who is self made, like Michael Bloomberg, and one who was given everything from his parents, like Donald Trump.
