And legacy media, again, screws up the reporting, with a 'bonus' analogy about post-modern technocracy, which is really anarcho-syndicalism for the few, aided and abetted by ignorant bureaucrats
Here in the UK, flat-pack ICUs were constructed to cope with the demand that garbage-in-garbage-out mathematical modeller Neil Ferguson (presented by the BBC as an epidemiologist) told us would be overwhelming. They remained empty and were packed away again. Winter came, the behavioural psychologists took over from the mathematicians as chief panic-merchants. A woman was arrested for filming empty hospital wards. Spring came and the spring-denying BBC told us lockdown had vanquished the deadly plague. I ceased listening to the BBC, but millions didn't. Scandinavia looked relatively sane.
Neo-Liberal in the Austrian economic sense is free markets. No government heavy handedness. No laws that protect the medical establishment business model. No government subsidy.
Just people who have wants and needs choosing where to spend their money. New ideas and services quickly replacing those out of touch with reality.
I don't know if the free market has existed since the dawn of hierarchy beyond the Dunbar Number though.
There are the Neo-Conservatives you could blame which would be more accurate, but then you would draw the ire of those types, better to blame the Neo-Liberals Because none exist in places where actual policy is made.
But you know a bit of what I think, its a fascist economy from top to bottom including from where you draw a paycheck.

I saw NPM, I had to step outside and chop firewood.
NPM is to organisations what necrotising fasciitis is to the body.
Efficiency and peak capacity are polar opposites in engineering. This is true for manufacturing and hospitals, both.

Don't the "few" own the legacy media?
