Nuclear is better than solar and wind gadgets
@hstoneii@MNelson_ISU Sure I guess, as long as the funds follow the kids, and not some artificially constructed set of rules intended to force people to fall into lockstep and abandon the free market
JetBlue had two deals: one with American, giving them more slots to expand in New York, and one with Spirit, giving them the planes and pilots to fill those slots.
The Biden DOJ blocked both of them, first claiming that the American deal was bad because JetBlue was a market disruptor... and then claiming that the Spirit deal was bad because JetBlue was a market monopolist.
And now Spirit is gone, leaving consumers with fewer choices.
This is the inevitable result when the government meddles in the market: consumers suffer.
Your government will let you:
- Drink alcohol until your liver gives out
- Smoke until your lungs do
- Eat processed food until you're diabetic at 34
- Take pharmaceuticals with 35 listed side effects
- Get a tattoo from a bloke named Spider in his garage
- Jump out of a plane
- Climb a mountain in winter
- Swim with sharks for fun
But they'll protect you from:
- Raw milk. From a healthy cow. On a clean farm. Down the road.
Funny, that.
Raw milk doesn't need processing plants, pasteurisation lines, distribution networks, or corporate intermediaries taking a cut at every stage. The farmer sells it. You buy it. The transaction is finished.
No middleman. No margin. No quarterly report.
Call it a safety concern if you like. The supply chain knows what it really is: a threat to the business model.
The regulations exist to protect the revenue, not the people drinking from it.
Know the difference.
