Real Life:
Cerberus, a private equity firm, buys a chain of hospitals, sells the land on which they sit, and charges them rent. The hospitals struggle and start cutting corners. Patients' care worsens, death rates climb. And Cerberus makes $790 million in profit.
Health care accounts for more than 17 per cent of the U.S. economy, or around $4.5 trillion dollars, but the revenues of just two companies—CVS/Aetna and UnitedHealth—account for nearly one in every seven dollars the nation spends on health care.

Once again, if you’re going to obsess over the “shoplifting wave” and ignore the endemic wage theft, we will not have a constructive conversation.
Multiple Burger King and Popeyes franchises across Massachusetts has been hit with over $2 million in fines for violating child labor law.
Nearly 2,000 workers under age 18 were being paid late, paid less than minimum wage, or were not paid at all.

UBI saves a ton of public money, but its lack of cruelty sends certain people into a rage, so it’s hard to put into practice.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Family separation happens on purpose. I feel like "the cruelty is the point" has become a cliche, but in this case it's literally policy: the Trump admin hoped that dividing children from their parents would make people think twice about crossing the border.

This is their plan. It is literally what the pick for FCC chair wrote in P2025.
Trump’s pick to chair the FCC signals willingness to revoke broadcasting licenses that the Trump admin deems as not operating “in the public interest.”
By doing so, he’s also implicitly coercing outlets to engage in self-censorship.
