I am waiting for the day when Mozilla removes Firefox’s ability to access websites as it’s “more secure” that way, and that “allowing a user the choice of websites is inimical to the goals of security and performance.” You think that sounds ridiculous, just recall some of the BS they’ve already pulled.

Material Dep
"Classism" is a problem afflicting approximately 5 academics who hustled from the working class to a gig in a pretentious department.
For everyone else, the tyranny of class hierarchy is material deprivation not a matter of manners.— Aimee Terese (@aimeeterese) November 14, 2019
Fucking nailed it. What academia writes and cares about and what’s happening in the rest of the world are often drastically far apart. Usually is, in fact. Classism means that 99.9% of people never get the opportunities they are capable of to even go into academia to write about how someone looked down on them for not knowing to use the salad fork.
Revelatory
I can pay more than $500 a month for a plan with a $2,350 deductible and a $7,000 out-of-pocket max, with a 50 percent coinsurance for emergency room care after the deductible. Hell of a deal guys

According to Drum and Marcotte and other ACA die-hards, that’s lies, all lies! The facts are traitors and Obamacare is a flawless revelation sent to us straight from heaven. Lived experience doesn’t matter. Prices don’t matter. People dying don’t matter. What matters is that St. Obama gave us what we deserved and we should be thankful (while perishing in a slow, protracted death from lack of insulin).
