Everything about this timeline confirms to me that if humans invent time travel some time in the future, it’s not the good guys.

The Chinese military is literally run by Communists. I guess they're the good, anti-woke kind, not the kind they accuse anyone to the left of Mitt Romney as being?

No matter what she thinks or says, it's against the law for emergency rooms to deny treatment to anyone who shows up.

After months of relative calm, my phone is suddenly blowing up again with sweaty, desperate, alarming texts claiming to be from Dem-aligned groups. THIS IS NOT OK. I get the party needs money, but selling my info to every campaign opens the door for scammers and spammers. Opt-in only, please!!!!

Their theory of the case is that bringing Marvel readers to the platform exposes them to all the great indy stuff that's available digitally, that they might not see in their local comics shop. Curious to know if that holds up.

Oooh, wait, I know this one! Is it... the Hippocratic Oath doesn't say anything about checking the patient's citizenship? Or that Emergency Rooms are required by federal law to treat anyone who shows up?

Predictions seem to have nailed the downsides (deepfakes, porn, propaganda, economic displacement, etc) pretty well, but somehow missed how none of the promised benefits have shown up.
