Every institution is built of people and therefore inherits their faults. The notion of so called “outsiders” is the intellectual equivalent of shrugging your shoulders and giving up because solving human problems is complicated, and let’s be very clear here: what has been done already and is planned by these outsiders to be done is almost universally terrible. If you want to argue that point, you’re not only arguing with every credible expert in a variety of fields, you’re arguing with the outsiders themselves, who advertise the fact that they want to crash the plane into the river because the pilots have grown too out of touch with regular passengers like you and them, whatever the hell that means. It’s a phrase that means nothing and therefore invites the listener to fill in whatever boogeymen they imagine are causing the problems, and while change will come, I’m highly skeptical that much if any will be good.

It doesn’t help that as I outline elsewhere, such outsiders are the preferred actors by people who feel they won’t have to deal with the fallout. People on private insurance aren’t afraid of the government cratering Medicare, because they don’t need it. Let’s be super clear about something else; if you’re okay with unqualified idiots fucking about with systems neither they or you understand simply because you won’t lose anything, you are not pro-disruption. You’re just selfish.
