    You make a really excellent point.

    Something similar is playing out with DOGE finding “waste” and “fraud.” Very little in the say if evidence, much int the way of waving around papers at a press conference / shitposting on Twitter and screeching “Woke DEI spending has been slashed.”

    Tbh, I get it. I understand why it works. Most people aren’t political junkies. Most people don’t really follow the news. They’re busy just trying to get through their day.

    That said, I read a good comment once- “You might not care about politics, but politics cares about you.” I only wish more people understood that. Unfortunately, our economic system works against it.

    Random aside, I wish we had strong labor unions in the US. They’d be very beneficial at this time.
