The big problem in American politics is that voters expect the government to solve their problems. Our country was founded on the principle that the people should be left alone to solve their own problems. When government is empowered to solve problems, it creates them instead.
The 🇪🇺 considers visa free travel of a few thousand citizens of five peaceful East Caribbean countries a „security risk“ because these countries run CBI programs.
But the mass naturalization of millions of unvetted Saharawis is no issue.
🇪🇺 = 🤡 show

🚨Genesee County uses Flock cameras to capture and search vehicle data. But when Kettering University student Josh Tewolde requested records showing where the cameras are, who accessed the data and whether his vehicle was scanned, the county withheld key information.
Its excuse? The records belong to Flock, a private contractor. But the county’s own contract says it owns the data.
Josh is suing because government should not be able to hide public surveillance records behind a private company. If the government uses the cameras, the public deserves transparency.
Stimulus checks lit the fuse on the highest inflation in 40 years.
It feels like free money when one household gets the stimmy. But when $1.9 trillion is chasing the same number of goods, we get a record high inflation of 9.1%.
Same when you stand up at a concert to see better, but then you’re back at square one when everybody stands.
This is the fallacy of composition in economics where a benefit that is accrued by one person is dissipated when it is handed to a large group simultaneously.
But it feels good when it hits and politicians can later blame something else for why your purchasing power is decimated.
