If that's what you want to believe, you will always be able to find another blog to reinforce that view. In fact, that's almost exactly what you did; you found another article that paints America as one bad coin-flip away from a dystopian hellscape (if it isn't one already).

Just look at the first sentence:

>For months, the world’s largest economy has been teetering on the brink of collapse because America’s latter-day robber barons can’t comprehend that workers sometimes get sick.

We learn so much from this trite piece of... journalism.

1. We're on the brink of collapse (again!) 2. We're living in a new era of robber-barons 3. The people running things are idiots have no idea that people get sick, unlike the very smart author of this article

Meanwhile, in reality, the "crisis" spelled out in the article was resolved in a predictably political (and boring) way. That kind of news doesn't fuel clicks, though. In its staunchly dogmatic opposition to modern capitalism this kind of journalism can't avoid embracing the exact business model it pretends to decry: clicks go up, journalism more better.
