In this week’s “Do Not Resuscitate,” I outline how we are watching the establishment of a gangster regime that is turning once neutral government functions into organized grifts such that you have to have connections with the powerful to get any benefit. Some of these tendencies predate Trump, of course, but they weren’t official policy. Now, Trump & Co are determined to centralize control and only share the wealth with their loyalists. If “Hypocrisy is the compliment vice pays to virtue,” Trump’s people aren’t hypocrites—they extort, exploit, and steal openly.
Highlights: the Trump executive order attempting to seize direct control of all scientific research; medical costs about to go through the roof; UnitedHealth as finance octopus masquerading as a healthcare company; antivax triumph and prospects for the nation’s children; and a stinging denunciation of RFK Jr as a charlatan from 3,000 doctors and public health experts.
