Nobody against data centers understands data centers. Nobody against Flock cameras understands how they work or what they do. Nobody demanding Medicare for All knows how Medicare currently functions or what it would cost. Nobody saying “tax the rich” knows how much the rich already pay in taxes.

Modern politics increasingly rewards having the strongest possible opinion about something you have spent the least possible time trying to understand. The American voter increasingly demand sensationalism and they have no idea how wealthy they are compared to the rest of the world. They may end up being the cause of their self inflicted belt tightening and they are in no way ready for an ounce of actual poverty. We need immediate competence to take over sensationalism and social media, especially tiktok is the enemy of that.
