I suspect the point is that if there is enough of a market for kumbaya social media, then someone will create it. And if the users flock to the advertisers on that media but not others, then the others will wither away (or change their business model).
FDR expanded the role of the federal government beyond all recognition. While in the short term there may have been some benefit to the blue-collar worker, in the longer term the programs and debts of the federals pushing inflation and reducing employment opportunities have done him no favors. If you fear what Trump can now do, as president, blame FDR for unconstitutionally increasing the office’s powers.
While I may not like the result either, “elections have consequences.” That’s not democracy lost. Progressivism lost. Good riddance. Now maybe the D party will adopt the kind of platform they had before FDR fouled things up with his admiration for Mussolini and adoption of his policies.
Early adopters pay exaggerated prices due to the cost of technology development. But eventually, thanks to their funding, the price drops and becomes available to more people. Let’s celebrate those who have the means to bring these things to everyone over time!
Reagan wasn’t as bad as I thought he might be (though he had his failings) but other than that, there really haven’t been any good presidents since Coolidge. Nixon ending Breton Woods set us up for a lot of the inflation Carter and Reagan eventually tamed.
I agree he’s confused about fascism, though it’s possible Musk supports it, as fascism is economically indistinguishable from industrial policy (which the federal government, at least, does not have the constitutional power to employ). Of course, let’s be clear, FDR and every democrat since was a fascist too for the same reason.
