The modern Supreme Court — and the modern right-wing project at whose vanguard it stands — is devoted to worsening overall health and health inequalities for the sake of delivering a free rein to capital and increasing returns to shareholders.
Catastrophic. The fact that most watchers and of course most of us who work on regulation knew this was coming doesn’t soften the blow a bit. The modern administrative state is critical for health & social policy. Undermining it promises to worsen overall health and expand health inequalities.

"The modern right-wing project is devoted to worsening overall health" ranks as a statement that reads as hyperbole, but isn't. I wrote what I wrote.

With increasing returns, they can afford their own filters? Just … just grasping at straws here, I got nothing in the way of an actually _logical_ analysis.

Why not analyze it in terms of gratuities? Increasing the profits of a specific set of businesses at the expense of harming public welfare makes it likely that the owner of that business will pay a gratuity to the justices. That's what yesterday's ruling was all about anyways.
