It is just unbelievable how greedy some people are even if they already have a lot more than they need. They don't care about making a nothers miserable live even more miserable just to accumulate more of whatever.

I just hope this does not happen in Europe.

I always knew some stuff in the USA were odd. But what I read in the last weeks blasts my imagination. I mean the USA has such a strong economy and is leading in all the future technologies. But then I read articles like these. It sound like a third world countries problems. I think I understand more and more why the people are so angry about the politicians. But then they vote Trump who is lying to their faces and does the exact stuff which harms the voters even more.

Still unbelievable what US Americans voted for.

That is why I asked.

But still, they write "out of reach" so I it means 60% of people are well beneath minimal life qualitiy. I wonder what minimal life quality actually means tough.

"For the bottom 60% of U.S. households, a "minimal quality of life" is out of reach"

Is this for real? Sounds odd to me.

Internet is controlled by corporates like meta, Google, tiktok right now. In other words the undemocratic billionaires control the power. And also networks like the Russian bot farms spread fake news and destabilize our society. Parents can not do much about it.

Democracy is doomed if the Internet is not regulated in a way.

Well this kind of regulation needs to be democratically. So there need to be independent institutions who regulate. The Same way like the law, police and politics is independent from each other.

If we keep the Internet "free" this means the Internet will be controlled by corporations like meta, Google and tiktok and thus by undemocratic billionaires. And also networks like these Russian fake news propaganda will control the narrative and so indirectly control our society.

I agree with you that regulating the Internet and thus the media need to be balanced against freedom. But if we do not regulate the internet than democracy is doomed.
