People assume democrats have more power than they actually do. There was a magical two week window at the start of Obamas, when the Dems had the House, 60 votes in the Senate and anything was possible. Then Kennedy died, we supermajority and got stuck with the ACA rather than something great.

Something to remember is that the Techbro billionaire class were rarely the actual tech pioneers. They're the ones who bankrolled it, or engineered a controlling share interest. They're just Railway Robber Barons 2.0. It's why they're crap at actual tech. Their 'skill' was money, timing or theft.
