Galloway Reverses on DEI
Galloway used to be a DEI advocate. Now he thinks DEI departments signal a problem already solved and that affirmative action should be based on an adversity score — not race. His example: Trevor Noah's kids don't need a hand up. A white kid in Appalachia might.
Galloway Goes Progressive on Taxes
Galloway used to think tax rates above 40–50% would kill incentives. Now he wants 50–70% rates on incomes above $10 million. His logic: above a certain income, money adds no more happiness — but redirected to universal pre-K or healthcare, it makes many people much happier.
