...take the money and build what they want somewhere else?
These are global companies. They have no national allegiance, they don't care about nations. They could build these things in Africa or South Asia almost as easily as here. It's honestly baffling they aren't already doing that.

It's money that is possessed by companies and individuals.
They aren't going to invest it in those things.
Would that be a better world?
Probably.
But it's not this one.
Could the government force them to?
It could try, but that would be a complete change of system, and why wouldn't they just...

Running on 'we are going to kill the one sector of the economy keeping us from a second great depression' might not be such a great plan...

So what if this isn't 'people think the economy sucks because the algorithm promotes negativity', but 'people realizing everyone else hates the existing system too because the algorithm promotes negativity'?

Or are they seeing enough other people talk about things they have hated but put up with for years that the 'bubble' of 'it can't be that bad or everyone would be mad' is bursting.
Even before COVID, I remember more and more people being more and more fed up with the status quo.

I do agree that social media and group dynamics are at work here, but my question is as to in what way.

...an excuse to cave...
These people are not just cowards.
They are **idiots** with absolutely no connection to or understanding of the American public. They are dangerous, craven morons.
They need to go, but they will not, and the end of this country will be on them just as much as the GOP.

...want to destroy us win, then people who lie about carrying but then do nothing to stop what's happening, who actually enable it while whining about how it's bad but they can't stop it.

Looking back all the way to the 1840s, Liberals have ALWAYS been more afraid of the left than the right, and have always capitulated to the right to try to hold off the left.

...up to now has led Democratic leadership to completely fail to address this, and will continue to do so as long as the same people remain in charge of the party.
