Not only is Tony obviously right the movie knows it and is all about Cap’s self righteousness getting the better of himself to the detriment of everyone.
the movies really twist themselves into knots in order to make the position of “random people with powers equivalent to wielding nuclear bombs should perhaps be at least lightly regulated” seem crazy and unreasonable lmao. Tony was right!
Re my thoughts on @RobertKennedyJr, Science must remain THE cornerstone of our nation’s health policy and the science-backed decision to get vaccinated improves public health and safety. But if as a country we follow the science we would also be far more concerned about the impact of pesticides on public health, ag policy on nutrition, and the lack of access to prescription drugs due to drug high prices. This is why I am for a major shake-up in institutions like the FDA that have been barriers to lowering drug costs and promoting healthy food choices. Lest there by any doubt, I am vaccinated as is my family. I will hold any HHS Secretary to the same high standard of protecting and improving public health.
Great piece.

The answer, he says, may just be bored decadence.
"The Trumpist effort to change, even transform, our governing institutions is about to begin. And so the planning to counter that has to begin. And not just the planning. The actual organizing, the actual pushback, has to begin as well..." https://t.co/bJdDK7Cgpp
