Everything happening in America is a choice. Policy is a choice. Whatever you believe or values you have, what your congressmen, senators and president do, is a choice. Most things that benefit normal people are not "too hard". This country has a policy constructed to benefit 10,000 people at the expense of 330m. I am not a pessimist, but man, it is shocking. There is only like 1 out of 500 people in power that genuinely values democracy, this country or the people. I am sure it will be somewhat great for the people at the top, but I am curious what happens when say 100 million people can't meaningfully live in American society.

Musk and his peers complain that the system doesn’t work. That somehow they’ve been hard done by.
They’re the richest people in history. Did society not work spectacularly for them - why are they obsessed with burning it to the ground?
I don't like the use of "nerd" here. There are millions of good nerds, but only a few bad billionaires.
I don't want to be that guy, but Murdoch also owns much of the Australian media and the "nerd" reich.
Why not both?
They should, but much of Australian media (which is largely Murdoch owned media) never brings it up.
It's why so many Australian journalists ended up being poached by the The Guardian - especially after what happened at "The Australian"
