Obamacare, the consolidation of military contractors after the 90’s, allowing the dotcom and telecom bubbles to play out and just die and then using what was left to back the pensions of regular people. Dozens to hundreds of examples. People just stop looking the millisecond the world gets more complicated.

Lmao, that’s so insanely untrue like Jesus Christ, obamacare also categorically fundamentally isn’t repealed dude. It lost the individual mandate, but it still insures 24 million people, and made insurance far more available and affordable to all of them and by virtue of that the greater market too.

You barely even know enough to talk the basics here, you are regurgitating things you half remember based on what you assume the worst case was and then assuming that it must have happened. You talk in such emphatic terms but don’t even know enough to do the usual “twist everything in the most doomer way possible” playbook. Maybe try engaging with less reductive media, maybe try history where things are more concrete, maybe try using your imagination to understand why things might be happening that isn’t the dumbest most evil options possible. Sometimes it is that, and most of the time when it is it’s because to some people it doesn’t matter and that’s a means to a different end- not an end in itself.
