I have a theory that many of the people who thought Karen's purchase of Twitter would work out and would be a good thing have never had to deal with real, painful consequences of being disappointed by someone with power. By that, I mean: it takes a certain kind of outlook to be able to look at someone and say yes, while in theory there's a good path forward, the *person* and their behavior indicates not just disappointment but likely harmful disappointment that needs planning for.

20% of all American adults are on a financing plan to pay medical or dental debt. That's 50 million people. 25% of them, 12.5 million, are on plans paying interest.

Greatest country in the world. Healthcare is broken.

khn.org/news/article/h… Private equity buying into healthcare providers *and* stacking financial services on top, what could go wrong?

Polyjackpot caused by multiple simultaneous golden-ticket petashambles. Actually this makes sense.

1. It was assumed that institutional decay would lead to a doubling of shambles every 18 months (Ianucci's Law)

The Federation made product feature onboarding illegal in the late 2300s, that's why there's no pop-ups on the main viewer letting people know about AWESOME NEW HOLODECK FEATURES like People Chips. Imagine being in the middle of working on a presentation about how to beat the Borg in Astrometrics and then LCARS is all INTRODUCING A NEW WAY TO SHARE WITH YOUR CREWMATES.

also, so visiting disney for a lot of people is like visiting a place where the infrastructure works and has been continually invested in? "save up for five years and come have a holiday where the water is drinkable"

Do you think there's like an "early 2000s" enthusiast in Starfleet who invites people for dinner on the holodeck and then replicates a blue apron box and then cools the meal from the replicated box because they're that much a fan of the early 2000s haha psych trick question blue apron boxes don't exist in the World War III hellscape of Star Trek

In the Tech Policy Design Lab's workshop on Trusted Design, remembered I made this mockup of What If Digital Products And Services Were Treated More Like Buildings In Our Environment:

flickr.com/photos/danhon/… It's a mockup covering concepts like:

* apps/websites are a space, we already regulate physical space in eg planning permission
* regulations require explicit community involvement (for good or ill)
* who would oversee that process?
* "aggregated newsfeed planning division" Image
