Government by billionaires? Cuomo names former Google CEO to join Gates & Bloomberg in drafting post-pandemic ‘reforms’

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has appointed ex-Google CEO Eric Schmidt to lead a panel on post-pandemic “reform” of health and education systems, despite criticism for taking other billionaires with conflicts of interest on board.
Schmidt will head a ‘Blue Ribbon Commission’ tasked with “reimagining” New York's existing systems of healthcare and education, Cuomo announced on Wednesday during his daily coronavirus briefing. The decision to place such power in the hands of another unelected billionaire has riled critics already uneasy about the governor's post-Covid-19 plans.
The panel's initial priorities will be “tele-health, remote learning and broadband,” Schmidt announced, dropping into Cuomo's broadcast. The former Google exec still receives a paycheck from parent company Alphabet in an advisory capacity, raising questions of conflict of interest given Google's leading role in developing a digital contact-tracing platform for Covid-19. While Cuomo confirmed in the same presser that the state is partnering with former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg – another billionaire – in building a human contact-tracing network, any digital component will likely involve the participation of Google.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai was in the hot seat on Tuesday as US lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee grilled him with questions about political bias at the company, the company’s plans to wade into the Chinese market with the Dragonfly search application and data privacy.
But it was a lone protester dressed as the Rich Uncle Pennybags, the mascot of the board game "Monopoly," who stole the show.
