And this is my point. Because of the makeup of the US government - by the constitution - the red states have more influence on the government than their populations should allow. You add on gerrymandering, it gets worse. It’s a structural issue. The majority of people in the US are for universal healthcare, freedom of choice, more gun control, etc. The majority of states oppose those things. We already have to deal with tyranny of the minority in our own country, why would we want other countries involved too? None of the issues you raised have anything to do with private companies. No one is forcing me to use any of the Big Tech companies’ services. They can’t force me not to state my opinion like the federal government can - there are laws in some states where abortion providers must tell their patients things that are untrue. Other states have laws forbidding doctors from asking patients about whether they have guns in their house. As far as myself, I have a lot greater chance being treated fairly in tech (where I have been working for 25 years) than if I as minority get pulled over by the police (the government). |
