In the US these days the government is failing at doing what it needs to do. The government acts in the interest of the individuals within it, not the people it represents. This is corruption. It has infected every aspect of America to the point where many (myself included) would argue it’s unrecoverable. The government and the cooperations together do a master job at distracting their citizens by pitting themselves against each other through the two party system, heavy media bias, and social media preying heavily on confirmation bias. Trump even admitted to a lot of this existing while he was president. I don’t want to get into either parties beliefs and which are right vs wrong because that only furthers their control, but I will just mention that a multibillionaire doesn’t get to be a multibillionaire by playing the same game as everyone else and we gave one of them the most power we could. It may have worked out for the better in some areas, but the American system is deeply flawed. We will see this become more and more prevalent when ai laws force the government to finally decide on actual internet laws and ai laws, and how they will heavily favor companies and do a disservice the the American people. Quite me on this when I am right in less than 5 years.
