RE: The common illusion that free market capitalism bring people out of poverty
I can agree that you cite good attempts to keep us safe, but:
- Food content has GMO's and Glyphosates... both have negative effects on the population.
- Market Manipulations are RAMPANT, this is a JOKE. (lol)
- Human Trafficking is very common, this needs improved.
I agree we need regulation, I never said we did not. But much regulation is a very poor joke, and you cited some of the worst. The good ones? I did not argue against, yes we need a clean environment and expiry dates on food are a great thing, this seems to work well in the USA but I know other countries need some work. Big Government is a travesty, they are allowing the cronies free reign but the little guy gets ground to dust in the wheels of bureaucracy.
I just think that much of what you mention works best when we as citizens are VIGILANT.
Your examples of failing regulations, isn't an argument against regulation, but rather a proof that those regulations are as needed now, as when they where made. But they need to be enforced. To do that, you need a willing and able government.
Citizens will disagree, be uninformed, misinformed, and most won't even care. Just look at the last 10 years of protesting: 99%, blacklivesmatter, Charlottesville Rally. They all made anti-movements as vocal and strong as the movement itself. No progress made by vigilant citizens. What is the better justice system.. lynch-mobs acting on feelings and rumors, or trained police and skilled judges acting on the facts, where both parts can tell their side, with laws equal for everyone as guideline. Maybe the system don't work as well as it suppose to. But you won't get better justice by tearing it down. Only solution is cleaning it up.
you are the one bringing up lynch mobs...
IMO the cronies in .GOV are handcuffing the public servants. I think we have more agreement here than disagreement. PLUS, if you said something I could really agree with whole-heartedly, I could raise your Rep level quickly :D
But I am not gonna tell you what I want to hear :P
I suspect you will hit it soon! Cleaning it up is a great start. LOL
If you take away the tax-payed justice system, you are stuck with random people taking justice into their own hands... a lynch mob.
You are completely right that US got cronies in government. IMO it is because you choose the wrong people to govern you. If you look for small government politicians, you will get people that don't respect the system, and have small issues taking advantage of it. Better to accept government and taxes is here to stay, and vote for politicians that want to make the best system possible, for its citizens.
I'm from Norway, and we got way more trustworthy politicians than you. Probably why I say, "Let government do it", while you say "Get government out of my business"
