Smart people lose interest in social media when they realise they're just arguing with the TV because most people are NPCs who can't do anything but repeat The Current Narrative.

It's become even worse now half the posts are AI-generated and half the rest are paid political grifters. If I want actual discussion I got to private web forums where smart people hang out.

> And these health care jobs, that's good for the next 20 years, but what then?

All that "free healthcare" that Boomers voted themselves is soon going to swallow up the majority of the economy. It's simply unaffordable and those jobs will be automated away or they'll never be hired.

It's impossible to make sensible long-term plans when governments can create or destroy industries overnight.

The good news is that degrees are mostly just a way for colleges to make money and aren't needed for the vast majority of jobs. They're just a tick-box for HR, which is another job that's about to be automated away.

Donations are pretty much irrelevant at this point.

US "healthcare" is something like 20% of GDP. It could be slashed to maybe 4-5% just by enforcing existing laws, but then you'd see an economic depression as 15% of GDP disappeared overnight and the politicians who did it would never get re-elected.

The cancer has simply grown too big to solve in a democracy and will continue expanding until the economy collapses because no-one is willing to lose the votes that fixing it would cost them.
