I'd like to resist doomerism but it's hard to shake the feeling the dominant message from our federal government to its citizens, in nearly every sphere of life, is "you're on your own"

flooded? bankrupted by hospital bills? need to evacuate a war zone? want to learn to read in public school? fuck you

I don't think that's a feeling unfortunately. Maybe they'll come out with an AI assistant US Representative to walk you through a dialogue loop so we feel heard in the future.
