#2That thing on the bus is money, and no one's been able to kick it off for a looong time. It'll move to another bus eventually.

Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? You've done it guite a bit and we're trying for something different here.
Thoughtful critique is of course welcome.

#5> Hire whoever you have to hire, fire whoever you have to fire, and do whatever you have to do to get this fucking thing off the bus.
Were it so easy. It seems more like a bunch of people are all trying to be the bus driver, they're all yanking at the wheel, and half the people in the back are screaming. The problems are too big for a few rich people to fix.

#8The good citizens of the US deserve, first and foremost, high quality media, similar to the BBC in the UK. Right now US citizens do not fund a news organization that looks after their interests so they are stuck with various news outlets with their own agendas. An independant, citzen news operation working in the public interest and paid for by the public would be a useful starting point.

#9I might never understand the urge to blame social media for the state of US politics. The voters have severe kitchen-table issues that don’t go away when they log out.

Seems like a good amount of allegory in that article.
Even reminded me of a Soviet era poet, Vladimir Mayakovsky [1]
Seems Slava would rather to be ruled by oligarchs, bribe-taking political family-clans, proteges of sexual predators, and thought police (hiding behind the innocence of cancel culture [2])
May be that sounds somewhat close to Ukraine where the author lived first portion of his life?
