First it was "we have to blow up dozens of people on boats because of fetnanyl." But obviously it wasn't fentanyl being trafficked so then: narco terrorists are shipping cocaine! But then Wiles tells a reporter it's all about regime change and today it's bc US oil companies got kicked out in 2007?

insurance companies literally kill people
UnitedHealth reduced hospitalizations for nursing home seniors. Now it faces wrongful death claims

This isn't hyperbole. In 2023, I watched Cigna revoke approval for my friend Carole's life-saving lung transplant *minutes* before surgery was set to begin—a decision that very nearly killed her.
Public outrage in response to a viral post about her situation is the only reason she's alive today.

SVB bailout made them understand what industrial policy could do, if in the right hands.
January 6 and October 7 broke their association with representative democracy.

Some poor GS-15 Financial Manager is staring blankly at his TV screen right now wondering what brought his life to this point.
In a nationwide address that major US TV networks are carrying live, President Trump announces 1,450,000 military members will receive a "warrior dividend" of $1776 before Christmas.

Given how tolerant North American voters are of transit incompetence, it’s impressive that Toronto has finally built a line that is so bad that the scandal broke through
Now a pizza company is publicly calling out #Toronto ‘s long-delayed “rapid” transit lines for slow delivery. (A+ trolling, by the way)

I don’t think many folks outside academia are fully registering what is going on right now.
1) Neoliberal university-as-business model
2) Mass de-skilling of the intellectual class
3) Unprecedented cuts to programs across the board
4) Dismantling public education
5) AI as partner to de-skilling
