My observation and view is….
Every time the activists cause a new “rule” or “law”, they create more and more gov’t employees that the tax payers have to pay. High pay and costly benefits, big pensions and free medical insurance.
I’ve noticed they never stop. They are never satisfied. They keep raising the bar. Its all anti business, anti freedom and costs taxpayers. They are playing right into hands of big Gov’t that wants to get bigger. More employees, more vendors etc. And more people to vote with their hands out.
When I was a kid, (’50-’60s) taxes were very low, everybody was happy, and prosperous. Meanwhile, everybody up here burned Coal for heating homes. If you drove into NYC and parked your car, you come out and find soot dust on the hood. So what? Nobody was dropping dead in the streets.
My grand parents lived in Brooklyn with all the coal burning. They lived into their ’90s. They had 8 kids with coal and lots of other so called pollution.
Ted Kaczynski was an extreme case of wanting people live the way he was. Lower living standards, and make us progress backwards like himself. We have the idiocy here of protecting these piping plovers. Can’t walk on the sand dunes. Sometimes its a salamander that needs protection. It simply all went too far, and its time to reverse.
Imo a small group of people should not get their way just because they break balls all the time. Think about prohibition. I heard it was 19 woman. The squeaky wheels need to be ignored.
