The private sector is undefeated in value creation for society


It is entirely possible THC is more dangerous for vehicle safety than alcohol and that wouldn’t surprise me. But based on this study alone? No.


oh so CEO is probably referring to using AI to replace foreign junior devs is a bad idea. Domestic junior dev replacement is ok though


the US could just require indians be paid the same as US workers then companies would be incentivized to hire more from home. You are correct, it is far cheaper to hire indians due to tax incentivize and regulations


Government replaces workers with regulations, should it also pay taxes?


This has got to be propaganda from big auto. No one would benefit from more regulation as much as they would


Over-regulation is without a doubt one of the top, if not the top, reasons for many of our woes. Propagandists will continue to say they are necessary for our safety or environment, but the negative repercussions are obvious and abundant. The only true beneficiaries will always be a handful of potential victims and the monopolists.


Its not that there is not enough education, its that there is too many regulatory barriers preventing licensing. It should be more like the DMV where anyone can take a test and get licensed if they pass. Forced experience and education requirements are touted as essential but are truly nothing more than regulatory moat building.


Maybe a test should be sufficient, but that test should be comprehensive, i.e., passing it should mean you had to do the education (formally or informally).

(Would you want someone performing surgery on you who "passed a test" but didn't have any formal education or training experience?)


I don't know about "not ... not enough education". Have a look at https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/04/us/politics/army-recruiti...


is there any political censorship scheme at this large of scale in modern us history?


Yes; the way the us government big business and the media, specifically Hollywood colluded during the Cold War


What if the government is the source of misinformation?


It's interesting you say that, because the government is saying Tylenol causes autism in infants when the mother takes it. The original report even says more verification is required and it's results are inconclusive.

I wouldn't be surprised if some lawsuit is incoming from the company that manufactures it.

We have mechanisms for combatting the government through lawsuits. If the government came out with lies that actively harm people, I hope lawsuits come through or you know... people organize and vote for people who represent their interests.


It certainly happens we're currently flooded with it from current regime

- Tylenol causes autism

- Vaccines cause autism

- Vaccines explode kids hearts

- Climate change is a hoax by Big Green

- "Windmill Farms" are more dangerous for the environment than coal

- I could go on but I won't
