I think this should be getting a lot more attention because it forces us to ask what kind of society we are becoming.

What does it mean that a single, powerful, self-serving, person can silence anyone he doesn’t want to speak?

Left unchecked, we will end up in a two-tiered society- one tier where a small group of people are never accountable for anything and another tier that will bear brunt of those consequences- whether it is because of defective products, addictive painkillers, failing services, or generally corrupt govt.

As I write this, the top story is about Elon Musk and Zuckerberg planning a fight. It’s quite an apt symbol for how removed these men are from the reality of most of humanity- both their employees and the users of their products who have been hurt by them.
