It might be. How can we say when all be get are "solutions" that deepen it, perpetuate it, normalize it, etc.?
So yeah, I'm glad we agree. Thanks for proving my point.
Hint: Start by reading Matt Desmond's "Evicted" and then go from there.
Also, watch the Rob Redford film "The Candidate". Make note of how many of "the issues" - and the associated narratives - persist today. Imagine selling a product that promises a solution but ultimately only keeps selling you promises.
Why is The Atlantic pointing the finger at the likes of Andreessen? Does he magically (cough cough) have more influence over politicians and regulators than he is supposed to have? Or maybe it's not fashionable for the media to look at who has been in a position of power a long time (e.g., Pelosi) and yet the needle on a known issue doesn't move?
When friends get on such a witch-hunt train, I suggest that they watch the film The Candidate (with Robert Redford). Why? Because - with rare dialogue exceptions - you could remake that film today and you probably wouldn't notice it's 50+ yrs old. 50 yrs is a long time for the needle not moving.
Andreessen might be a participant and a symptom but he's not among The Root Cause. He's not the tone deaf holding the 6 Jan hearings. He's not jetting to Taiwan. Etc. Let's not allow The Atlantic to distract us from The Root Problem.
