I started looking into Project 2025 so I could be more informed about it and...wow. This is really bad, absolutely horrible. They want to get rid of anything that benefits citizens and protects children and workers.

Democracy Forward Project 2025 Snapshot Proposals from Project 2025, discussed in detail throughout this guide, that they claim could be implemented through executive branch action alone — so without new legislation — include: Cut overtime protections for 4.3 million workers Stop efforts to lower prescription drug prices Limit access to food assistance, which an average of more than 40 million people in 21.6 million households rely on monthly Eliminate the Head Start early education program, which serves over 1 million children annually Cut American Rescue Plan (ARP) programs that have created or saved 220,000 jobs Restrict access to medication abortion Push more of the 33 million people

    Project 2025 basically wants to reinvent the 19th century and erase all the progress of the 20th century.

    Agreed.

    I think people are neophiles (love change) or neophobes (afraid of change). Neophobes tend to be reactionary, i.e. they want to erase all the progress of the 20th century. In other words, they are suffering from a severe case of future shock.

    I like the metaphor "buggy whip magnates"

    Like many geeks, I think I am a comedian when in reality I ain't.

    But when trying to explain a dull topic, you need to spice it up somehow or your readers will get bored.
