The most interesting thing for me is seeing how the "public comments" section such as this one has started to shift.

I remember back when nearly everyone defended the system and people were shot down for suggesting that perhaps those who have power and influence try to influence and exercise power. (For instance, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1182518, 6 years ago)

I think people still deny that this change has happened which make me think it's just a temporary thing.
