Fascinating & thorough —if depressing— analysis which reveals the end result of “regulatory capture,” how predatory capitalism excels at de-fanging anyone from interfering with unfettered extraction from We the People!

A futuristic fascist takeover. I pray for a massive shot from the sun to break these systems. We are blindly, willingly marching ourselves and our loved ones into an unending nightmare.

Superb mapping of how the same extraction infrastructure repeats across sectors. The fragmented responsibility layer is especially insidious because each entity in the chain can point to another actor, making accountability vanish completly. I've personally experienced the prior authorization loop where insurers blame PBMs, PBMs blame vendors, and vendors blame proprietary algorithms, and after 3 weeks nobody has actualy made a decision thatcan be appealed.
