it’s always fucking unsettling when the orange site goes almost entirely mask off about how they consider folks with hereditary diseases to be genetically inferior (and it happens a lot)
and would they ever hypothesise any of this (having to report anything) happening to them? no way, impossibru
Wouldn't there be a negative feedback loop where the genetically prone to illness can only get crap insurance and due to crap healthcare die younger and live more unhealthy years, which makes them poorer? And their kids can also only get crap insurance due to loss of generational wealth and/or inherited disease until eventually family members are dying of diseases of poverty?
And a positive feedback loop for the healthy middle classes, whose sick kids get improved care?
Yes, it would be a return to the 19th century Gilded Age, which seems to be the ideal for these people.
