Doctorow argues that these internet platforms have been treating their users and business customers like crap because they can treat them like crap. They can act this way because they don't fear their users will flee to competitors or that they'll be sanctioned much by the government.

It has been known for over two decades, since the late 1990s and early 2000s, that visceral fat is more harmful to health than subcutaneous fat, as research at that time demonstrated a clear link between excess abdominal visceral adipose tissue, metabolic abnormalities like insulin resistance, and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This understanding evolved as the biological activity of fat cells and their role as endocrine organs, secreting hormones and molecules that influence various diseases, was recognized.

Regardless, if we take the premise that society should treat gun violence as a psychologist would, then the problem is an easier fix than you might expect: We simply take away the guns.

Many people have said that we should treat gun violence as a mental health issue. But the vast majority of school shooters are not mentally ill. Only about 25% of mass shootings are associated with non-psychotic psychiatric or neurological illnesses (depression, for example) with another approximately 5% related to severe mental illness. Depressed people often don’t have the energy to commit violent crimes, and psychotic people usually have trouble executing an elaborate plan. It’s angry people who kill, particularly angry men with access to firearms.

I’ll try to keep this simple: (1) Donald Trump is acting as a dictator. (2) He is fairly easily defeated time after time when people fight back. (3) Far too few people are fighting back.

From the article, this quote from Marc Andreesen struck me.
By capitulating to Trump he's doing what he said we don't have to do.
