If Healthcare policy and Safety Net policy was turned back to 1936 (when HCH justices struck down such laws as violating Property Rights), how many people would be in poverty or have no insurance?

A huge proportion. Maybe 70%, in view of the rapacious amorality of American elites and the absence of any moral pressures upon them -- even fear of social unrest. That's how life goes -- back to the 1920s or earlier with better technology and the disappearance of WASP domination of the economy. But the advanced technology is hardly an unmixed blessing, for that technology can be used for repressive means.

The economic elites want German efficiency and productivity on Third World wages... as was so in Germany in 1936. Remember that the Right wants unions to vanish so that employers can drive pay down to starvation levels.

I would expect American elites to try to spread their monstrous order into places in which it is unwelcome. If Americans are fortunate under the circumstances, they will see the effects of World War II... inverted. War will be profitable until an enemy starts blasting the munitions plants and related activities... and the networks of communication and transportation.

We will learn when Trump repacks the court.

Basically, it violated constitutional rights because because of a "substantive due process interest".

The Trump ideology -- wealth and bureaucratic power have rights, and the common man has duties to serve what he can never have and can only exploit and degrade him.

America is coming to need a Solzhenitsyn.

Industrial Age Europe in the 19th century could be a good indicator of that kind of world. A massive worker class in poor conditions working for a select few elites
