There was a singular moment in 2015-16 where Bernie Sanders could have been the Democrat Elect instead of Clinton. He was sabotaged, and along that, so was democracy in the US, as it opened the gates for Trump and all that ensued afterwards.

The future (and present) in the US is oligarchy, not a democratic republic. It's just that now it's going to be completely in the open, and legally elected for it. The dream is dead.

Sam Altman says he wants to “give people another 10 years of healthy, vigorous life.”

In the US, the rich live up to 15 years longer than the poor. Changing that requires political action that many tech billionaires oppose, not more tech solutions.
