An entire political culture enthralled by whatever post-concussion nonsense Sam Altman says that day.

@gwynnion@mastodon.social To be somewhat fair, there's been a longstanding contradiction within capitalism that they've straddled, the "common sense" that economic growth means more jobs and people want jobs, so liberals should encourage business growth. (There's a lot wrong with all of this, but think of the classic messaging from conservative labor union leadership for instance.) I think it's a recent and dramatic shift that there's now a widespread understanding that new businesses (or at least one prominent type of new business) are harmful and should be opposed.
