in the recent past, when you typed "boise movie times" into google, you got a list of movies playing locally, where, and what time. not you get either an AI slop paragraph that MIGHT have some of the info or a bunch of fandango links. this is called enshittification.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.
