The Atlantic under current ownership is hot garbage. It's like American legacy media are in a race to see who can delegitimize themselves the fastest. WaPo, NYT & The Atlantic are all top contenders.

That ties into the same corporate idea that lower performing stores/products need to be closed or sold off (even if they are not in danger of losing money). Anything to preserve or increase the stock price. Completely toxic.

AFAIK, that was always the goal of the "defund the police". The "defund the police" was and is a terrible slogan, that doesn't convey the message clearly. May technically be true but is too easy to twist as being completely anti-police and used by the right to stir up trouble.
