    The headline implies that they’re indifferent to the country’s welfare, but in reality, they’re actively hostile to it. They’re fine wrecking the economy if it makes them richer and/or leads to a Biden defeat in 2024. They’re fine destroying public education if it lets them be “anti-woke” or push more people towards charter schools (thus further giving a leg up to people from rich backgrounds). They’re fine ignoring the climate catastrophe if it makes their rich donors and dumbass voters happy.

      That sounds like indifference to me. They are “fine” with wrecking stuff, but that’s not their goal. Their goal is more power, more money, more… whatever. They are 100% indifferent to the countries welfare. At least that’s what it feels like to me. It’s definitely still bad, as indifference to other peoples suffering is a pretty crappy way to be.
