@@thomassowellreacts APRIL 24, 2024 Biden’s Regulations Costing Nearly $1.4 Trillion WASHINGTON, D.C. - Yesterday, the American Action Forum (AAF) released a report that shows since taking office, Biden’s agency rulemakings have cost the federal taxpayer $1.37 trillion and counting. The American Action Forum has dubbed this week the most expensive on record. The most costly of Biden’s regulations was the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) tailpipe vehicle emissions rule, which came in at $870 billion just by itself. Biden increased his regulatory burden by $875.3 billion in just one week. That nearly matches the $890 billion total of President Obama’s regulations during his entire presidency. The average cost of one of Biden’s regulations is over $1.5 billion. In comparison, the regulations under Obama averaged $250 million. Last week’s regulations alone added more than 4.7 million annual paperwork burden hours. source, HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE
All we have to do in all societies, not just America, is ensure that discrimination doesn't occur and that there are mechanisms in place for when it does occur. Then let the chips fall where they may. Society, on an individual level, will figure out who does what, based on their own interests and abilities. You can't MAKE 50% of women want to be Engineers for example. Maybe they don't want to be, so saying "we need 50% of engineers to be women (or black or whatever)" makes no sense. As long as the ones that ARE interested and talented enough aren't discriminated against, society will be happy.
Your idea to, "ensure that discrimination doesn't occur and that there are mechanisms in place for when it does occur." is the real solution to the problem. All the junk ideas of lowering standards and appointing a few visible race tokens for display are just waste!
I first heard that term more than 40 years ago when the KGB agent defected from the Soviet union and came over here and spilled the beans on the forest process the Soviet union had to stabilize and subvert any nation, which is of course being done here today, but social justice is an actual KGB word
Arranging society is like herding cats. You can't put the cats where you want them. You have to pull a string and allow those who are willing and able to chase it.
Socialism appeals to those who know they have nothing of genuine value to offer their fellow citizens in a society that rewards initiative and talent, and to those who exploit the envious hatred of the successful that results, in order to acquire political power.
Yeah how come my neighbor has a yacht and a Ferrari and I don't. I guess you might be able to speculate a small part of it could come from the envy of other peoples things. Which means theyre also a materialist too. Why does the other person have better stuff than what I got.
Corporate American could learn a thing two from this wise man! Instead of listening to the activist groups they have been listening to for the past few decades!
Interesting and thanks. If I understand what is being said is that Uncle through the various referenced 'mechanisms,' has been successful? So that the US is getting a specific outcome and not another outcome? The Country doesn't get both outcomes, speaking and a metaphorical sense? Boggle.

If progressives or leftists or whatever the name is, understood the dominance of the first born, they would try to legislate that everyone has to be first born.
Genesis 6:6 The LORD was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain. So the LORD said, "I will wipe mankind, whom I have created, from the face of the earth--men and animals, and creatures that move along the ground, and birds of the air--for I am grieved that I have made them." Genesis 6:6
I remain concerned by cursing Elder Glenn Loury's seeming insistence that Marxism is a valid alternative model to free, fair, transparent competitive markets under the rule of law. Nothing new in the power of patronage in all political systems. In fact, there is advantages of raising Harris to a position we all know she was never qualified for. Not good for healthy civil society let alone the position of the individual relative to the concentration of power in government structures.
He's lost weight - so his clothes no longer fit - but I wouldn't describe him as "so thin". Hopefully it was just a case of him being advised to lose a little.
This is strawman argument . 1. Social justice does not mean absolutely equal income to everyone ... It is more based on actual needs of people. 2. The only way to be wealthy is not really work and / or ability - you resources - high tech - credit provided by the gov which are given to specific groups and classes for free...
1. It's not based on the real needs of people but what their masters believe is their needs. No actual people are ever consulted. 2. I don't understand what you wrote. It makes no sense. 3. Social justice/Marxism is based on the idea that reality can be ignored and the vision of the annointed elites who know better can be implemented "if we just try." Doesn't matter what reality is. Doesn't matter if "the People" don't want it. The elites know what's good for them. It invariably results in tyranny as the elites force the "People" to obey. It's insane and evil.
