No but you see there was a RANDOM VILLAIN who kept the nice things from being added and Obama was helpless! :qq:

am I taking crazy pills or am I the only person that paid attention when the ACA was actually passed?

Because the house, not subject to filibuster rules, passed a much better bill - the senate was a complete pain in the rear end due to Ted Kennedy dying and Lieberman being poo poo.

Also Obama sucked, too

But at least the house was largely not awful.

you kno how corporations are people? now imagine now most of that corporation's management operations and communications are managed by an extremely efficient artificial intelligence. that's probably where we're headed

In a way that could be a huge improvement. But what would actually happen is the efficient AI would be owned by like 400 families, that would control something like 95% of the entire worlds economic output and all the current relatively rich middle-managers would transition to generational rent seeking where they would have a huge leg-up on the remaining 99% who own nothing.
