Kevin Drum, Yglesias, Krugman, et al. are all involved in a propaganda operation to convince people their precarity and the fragility of modern life is actually ok. Itโs a way of tamping down dissent and attempting to preserve predatory capitalism.
More people are calling them out now but it wonโt be enough. The psyop is working and will keep on working.
