Governments and voters are both reacting to algorithm-shaped “public opinion,” not grounded priorities. Immigration feels urgent because platforms amplify fear, pulling parties into hollow performances of toughness. The far right reads that drift as confirmation it’s winning.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

It's possible spending all your time mainlining an algorithmic feed of posts programmed by a drug-addled Nazi who is explicitly trying to influence election outcomes is a poor way to understand reality.
Man. The big papers setting fire to their entire legacy to cape for the biggest losers in history is hilarious shit. Imagine betting on the wrong horse so much and so often that you might as well be fucking the horse. The legacy media is out of touch with reality and the people of this country.

These costs are sucking chest wounds to the average American, and will be impossible to weather. This, alongside the AI bubble, the housing market bubble, the loss of jobs, encroaching inflation, and every other batshit thing Trump does, will lend itself to a cataclysmic cascading failure.
