    So you’re intentionally exaggerating when you say “nothing has changed”. Yeah nothing has changed, except an entire Executive Branch department that didn’t exist before. It was more influential than many other books written at the time.

    Of course the author wanted the book to be even more influential, that’s why authors write. No writer says “this book kinda sucks, I hope people read half of it and put it down”.

      intentionally exaggerating

      🙄🙄🙄

      You can “uh actually” my phrasing if you really want to, but playing tone police is to miss my actual point how these are long standing and well known problem that Sinclair spoke about extensively.

      If you don’t have anything meaningful to contribute to the conversation, it’s okay to just keep scrolling.

        😂

        Tone police? That’s rich, coming from the comment police. Besides, you said it twice:

        Nothing has changed, it was obvious what was happening long ago, but we’ve done nothing but watch it get worse.

        Do you think no one can provide context for your comments? Everyone has to agree with you 100%?
