Nobody is suggesting you not believe it though. And why would I listen to anything from the same guy who claimed "Banks were too big to fail", handed them billions of dollars in taxpayer funded bailouts for them brazenly violating laws, committing fraud and destroying many people's lives, all while their companies made billions and billions of dollars in profit off that bailout, never faced any real consequences for their actions(which should have landed many of them in jail) and paid out hundreds of millions in bonuses. Would be like the cops catching you breaking into a mansion and robbing it and then not only not arresting you, but helping you load up you trunk with valuables and giving you a police escort home.

The Frankish Reich Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM Author Posted Thursday at 05:04 PM China: no negotiations until you withdraw your unilateral tariffs. Trump: wait a minute, "someone spoke to someone, I can't tell you who" Markets go up. Insanity continues. 2
Doc Brown Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM Posted Thursday at 05:43 PM 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: True or false regulations are reactive, not proactive? Mostly reactive although there's a lot of proactive regulations when it comes to climate change. We contribute to climate change but how much we do is overstated imo. There's a certain arrogance in thinking that we alone are the reason for climate change. Forcing car companies to rapidly curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides in gas powered vehicles by 2027 is an example of that. All that would do is make gas powered cars more expensive as I doubt the more expensive hybrid and electric vehicle prices going down. So basically it's similar to tariffs in that it's a tax on the consumer. The problem with reactive regulations is you're assuming they were written competently, based off sound research, and actually address the problem. If the regulation falls into that category it's unlikely to be eliminated because it might cost a few regulatory jobs and there's no incentive to do so. 1
