will ever again control Congress is a stretch. There is too much concentrated capital and private equity. There is no level playing field. There is trickle down, perhaps greater in some time periods than in others. Even if we become an economy of remote workers and solopreneurs, we are still beholden to Big Tech, AI, Wall Street, Big Banks, and the Fed. Our little 1935 dreams are gone.

Just to play Devil's advocate, but that's how I see it.
