Kathy Watson was anxious about her health coverage even before she woke up gasping for breath last month and drove herself to the emergency room with a flare-up in her heart condition.
Some people unfortunately genuinely are that short-sighted. An older relative of mine voted for Trump, but her gynecologist shortly after the election told her about what’s been happening with abortion laws basically forcing medical malpractice. She heavily trusts her GYN, and she was extremely distraught after hearing this, because she thought these were strictly targeting elective abortions (which would still be completely gross).
Still didn’t outright regret her Trump vote, but she absolutely was shaken, especially after I sent her the ProPublica exposé on the young woman from Texas. She seems a lot more open now to listening to things she previously would confidently dismiss as a lie/exaggeration by journalists or as a misunderstanding by me.
We can take basic protections. Hyper engagement optimization should be illegal because it makes hate and bait float to the top, and there’s nothing “biased” about that. Even tech giants would probably swallow it, as their competition would be on a level playing field.

Maybe we shouldn’t worry about their eligibility to vote, but us allowing them to live in such a toxic information environment.

Regulations will NOT happen.
