30January25 - Regulations are Written In Blood

There’s a saying that, “Regulations are written in blood” because most regulations are written in direct response to someone being killed or maimed, and the regulators trying to avoid that in the future. Regulations are supposed to be a check on unrestrained capitalism, so that we can actually stay alive long enough for this machine to make money off of us.

I have family members who voted for Trump because the regulations in place for their industry under Biden made it difficult for them to do business.

If we lived in normal times, the three headlines plus one social media post below would be the end of this man’s career. A competent opposition party would hang them around his neck like a millstone and let it sink him to hell. But the truth is, it won’t even be a blip. And those poor families will forever be devastated.
