Yep. I’m not suggesting dismantling OSHA, in fact I prefer to benefit from hard-won lessons and advancements from our ancestors like the earth is round, vaccines are good, nazis are bad, and government regulations actually have a purpose that’s almost always rooted in safety.
I’m saying a majority of the population in the US is eschewing this knowledge in favor of re-learning things the hard way.
- llamaimperative 2y agoEven more sad is that it's not really a majority. Instead what you're seeing is minoritarian rule. The GOP hasn't won the popular vote for POTUS since 1988, and the filibuster all but guarantees you need a supermajority to pass any legislation, i.e. the minority can just allow our institutions to deteriorate. No majority necessary!
