Like FDR's brain<br />trusts and the Soviet expert for all toothpicks<br />in the USSR. This results in intractable problems,<br />low accountability, inability to experiment and <br />change. (See Thomas Sowell: "Intellectuals and <br />Society")<br /><br />In a free-market economy, bird, fish, drone swarm,<br />actions and decisions happen at a local level, <br />quickly changing and optimizing. A single entity<br />may fail, but causes little damage. Another case<br />is the human brain. Each cell behaves from few <br />inputs and outputs, simply. Combined, the brain's<br />power is prodigious. (See Neural Nets, Emergent<br />Phenomena.)<br /><br />ThomasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-84506928729965629862022-06-20T19:52:58.386-04:002022-06-20T19:52:58.386-04:00I live in Fairfax County, Virginia. It seems that ...I live in Fairfax County, Virginia. It seems that every 10th car is a Tesla. Builders are only building homes that "start at" $2.5 M. Large population of lobbyists enjoying the fruits of our tax money. So I wonder if this is the future ~ we as onlookers at the feast. Or is it possible as the whole thing comes crashing down they'll be buried alongside us. This line I heard on a TV program still resonates. We have been experiencing "the controlled demolition of America."

I was curious about your comment: "Market consolidation due to government regulations has left a handful of companies sitting atop the market.." I've long sensed that government regulations have creates the monopolies and market consolidation that we have today, but am not clear on how that works; i.e.., what regulations have created these conditions. If you've written about this issue before, will you please provide a link? If you haven't written about it before, would you please address it in a column in the near future?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-19789742054076459512022-06-20T12:56:37.269-04:002022-06-20T12:56:37.269-04:00So glad that your issues have been resolved some s...So glad that your issues have been resolved some so that you are able to give us your excellent analysis as before.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-76076940997475045472022-06-20T12:50:32.267-04:002022-06-20T12:50:32.267-04:00"An out-of-touch elite responds to problems w...<br />"An out-of-touch elite responds to problems with meaningless reassurances, glib jokes and wokeness. Like Soviet propaganda, the only thing corporate statements communicate is the vast distance between the lives of those running the system and those caught inside its gears." <br /><br />Thanks for saying what I wanted to but couldn't. This is the wokeness alliance, between our dear "leaders" and their technocrat overlords. If you dare object, you are not thrown into a gulag, but shunned as a "racist,' and cancelled.
