our brains have just been permanently warped to see the world of the period shortly after the war as normal because of the cultural impact of those decades, so we're constantly readjusting based on an unusual mirage
the sheer cultural power of the 50s, 60s, and 70s is going to last long after all of us are dead

Propaganda. We thought that it was gauche and problematic to have government propaganda about public accomplishments and so people forgot about them. People consistently like the military more than ‘the government’ and you know what a large part of that is? They have an advertising budget.
I think about this, also in terms of vaccines, and really struggle with how you have a free society that doesn’t fall into this trap in one way or another. solved problems become invisible and the solutions become the source of conspiracy theories.
This seems logical but Dems solved* the whole problem of old-age health care costs in the mid-1960s and then they lost five of the next six presidential elections because by 1968 it was a solved problem and no one cared about it.

this is a fantastic point that I hadn’t thought about: when antivaxx was associated with crunchy Marin libs and caused an outbreak at Disneyland what happened? Dems fought back and passed stronger vaccine requirements
now that antivaxxers are republicans they instantly took over the party

![California Senate Bill 277 (SB277) is a California law that removed personal belief as a reason for an exemption from the vaccination requirements for entry to private or public elementary or secondary schools in California, as well as day care centers.
The final version of the bill was enacted by the California Legislature in 2015 (passing the State Assembly on a 46-31 vote!][2] and the California State Senate on a 24-14 vote!?]) and was signed
into law by Governor Jerry Brown on June 30, 2015.

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

Brian Lanza (a member of Trump’s team), who once advised Ukrainians to surrender, is now serving as an adviser to sanctioned Russian oil company Lukoil.
But of course it's just a coincidence. No questions whatsoever about his motivation.

We're completely screwed if our response to measles is going to be asking antivaxxers - the most selfish and stupid people in our society - to voluntarily self-report and quarantine for 21 days each every time they get exposed
More than 250 people who were exposed to measles, including dozens of unvaccinated school-aged children, are quarantining in South Carolina as the state wrestles to contain an outbreak that has sickened more than 110 people.
Hundreds Quarantined in South Carolina as Measles Outbreak Shows No Sign of Slowing
The outbreak shows no signs of slowing, likely because of the affected area’s “lower-than-hoped-for vaccination coverage,” a state health official said.

Just showing prices isn’t gonna help shit. Seeing the price of gas or the price of groceries or, a more apt analogy, the price of utilities does not LOWER those prices. It’s healthcare. You pay what they demand for what you need because the alternative is paying for a funeral.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."
