Not to defend Olivia Nuzzi, who broke every rule in journalism and promoted a charlatan to his current position. But it's incredibly telling that she will lose her job, but RFK Jr. gets to stay in his job despite the reports of his drug use, his affairs and his defenestrating of public health.

They are trying to cram it down our throats so deep it can't get dislodged. And short sighted, greedy, uncritical people are just lapping it up. One of the reasons I'm so loud and aggro about this is I hope people not paying attention get wind that not everybody is just okay with this happening.

NEW: Americans want AI regulation & yet the opposite may happen.
Same thing happened on Wall Street regs, crypto & health care.
It's an axiom: legalized bribery enshittifies politics so organized money defeats disorganized people, even when people want something better.

NEW: There’s this annoying assumption that while oligarchy may explain many bad trends in our society, it somehow has nothing to do with the housing crisis.
This argument is amplified by movements bankrolled by oligarchs - even as reams of data prove it is a flagrant lie.
