   @KimPerales There are "divine right of kings" folks who think so long as they make money it's not important what happens to the plebes. Support for this ideology is why the robber barons glommed onto von Neuman and Morgenstern's "Theory of Games and Economic Behavior." By fatuously equating money with utility vN&M snuck "divine right" in the back door, and, forgive my invective, further fucked the "useless" poor.

     Trump’s nomination of RFK Jr to run HHS: proof: pres-elect learned nothing from his experience QB'ing fed pandemic response.

     The politicization & polarization that met that response: tragic -fail to take lifesaving precautions -& ultimately even to reject COVID vaccination -resulted in an untold⬆️in pandemic disease & death.

     His latent distrust of expertise led him to whiplash b/w showing support for his own govt’s response & bursts of truly irresponsible-.
