I’ve been feeling this recently. I think a lot of it is that going anywhere and doing anything these days feels like a series of faceless companies with their hands out. It’s all a series of fees that (for me) drains the joy from whatever I make plans for.

No, I mean take a (legal) hacksaw and break those companies up into 50-100 separate entities each.

Antitrust for all!

Pretty much a certainty.

Yeah, if nothing else (and there’s a lot else) she wouldn’t have gutted the pandemic response team at the CDC, and covid may not have gone global if it had been caught a week or two earlier.
