Welcome to gangster capitalism [1], which only doesn't differ from ordinary capitalism all that much.
All capitalism does is build enclosures and engage in rent-seeking. When you see private equity taking over every aspect of your life down to local medical practices, vets and trailer parks, all they're doing is leveraging a necessity into higher prices by giving you absolutely no other choice.
Going forward you will see absolutely no criminal consequences for the company or the indiivudals responsible either because we're now openly selling pardons [2] and we have a Supreme Court that made the president a monarch with immunity from criminal prosecution.
I don't know what America becomes after this but it has changed and is fundamnetally changing and it's never going back. We're in a period like the start of the nuclear age, the Cold War and the Red Scare. Or post-9/11. There are many people here and elsewhere who distinctly remember how different life was before 9/11.
And there is zero political opposition to any of it. The Democratic Party is absolutely complicit in everything that's happening.
