Ideologues love to identify some small group of bad guys that if we only rein in everything will be great.
It’s private equity! It’s health insurance executives! It’s trial lawyers! It’s CNN!
The actual truth is far worse. It’s 100 million homeowners, it’s 20 million healthcare workers, it’s an entire generation too online, etc.
There’s no magic bullets. Propagating the idea that there are is how we end up with garbage legislation and regulations that don’t improve anything.
What people need to start respecting and demanding from their government is competence. The ideologues of every stripe need to go sit in a corner for a decade or three while we build back up working institutions.
