I think that sums up the situation really well. And I think the migration to Rednote (Xiaohongshu) has opened a lot of American eyes to what is possible in a society that prioritizes people over profit.

“Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg symbolically sat with his cabinet picks.” - i think ‘cabaret picks’ is more apt. ‘Cabaret de l'Enfer’ to be precise.
