A man who micro doses and claims he was "tricked" into permitting his son to transition should not be anywhere near government power. I don't want him deciding anything for me, or affecting my life in any way whatsoever.

A man who micro doses, and claims he was "tricked" into permitting his son to transition should not be anywhere near the power of government, in any form. What happened to real qualifications?

@utah_koidragon7117 Great. The 401(k) has existed for two generations, yet fewer than 5% of Americans can fully fund their own retirement with their 401(k) and their IRAs and all of their other savings and investments. A plan that does not work for 95% is not a plan. You can find a way to blame the bottom 20%, although that is usually specious, but at least it's plausible, and you may have a point. Once it fails to work for 80%+, it's a scam.

Well, Amber, then why does each round of deregulation make life worse? You must know there is a business incentive to engineer obsolescence, correct? For example, a vaccine that requires boosters every 6 to 12 months makes more money than "one and done." A LOT more 💰 😂 but not really

What government contract has he lost under Biden?

I was just cents erred for citing the Great EM's actual record. THAT'S what you can expect.

@paulsnow The federal government provides massive funding to the states for all sorts of purposes, notably for educating disabled children.
1
@paulsnow Maybe you need to read up on the IDEA. That's one area where the Supreme Court often voted 9 to 0. Then you also have FERPA, which requires agency oversight, since individuals usually can't go to court to get damages if a school commits privacy violations. Just two examples.
1
@paulsnow Titles VI and IX are supposed to prevent invidious discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funds. That would be a good thing, if they did.
1
@paulsnow Read the first sentence first.
1
@paulsnow An IEP, as provided in the IDEA, would guarantee that parents be involved in their troubled child's education plan. It is a federally-protected right of the parents. Look it up.
1
@paulsnow Try invoking it, and see what happens. A TON of Supreme Court opinions are on the side of parents here. They are part of the IEP team. It's not a regulation, it's the law. There is no opportunity for capture here.
1
@paulsnow You know, I hope they let you see what I wrote. I also fail to understand why you talk about things you clearly don't know about. Statutes aren't regulations. There is no opportunity for "agency capture." The Supreme Court already made that crystal clear.
1
@paulsnow Nothing to do with it. Zip. See the Winkelman case, 2007. Supreme Court. Seventeen years ago. Also see the Forest Grove School District case, 2009. A school district can even be obligated to pay for private school. Think. If I say more, you won't get to see it, if you know what I mean.
1
@paulsnow These are cases from 15 to 17 years ago. I sure hope my post is allowed to appear.

@paulsnow So, Bill Gates is a virologist, and now Elon is a constitutional lawyer. Meritocracy on "both sides," huh? 😂

1
@utah_koidragon7117 Now we agree. That is a civil liberties issue. At least the Supreme Court struck down the OSHA directive as overreach. Do you think Musk is qualified to streamline the bureaucracy to our benefit? I don't know where to start with that one.
1
 @utah_koidragon7117 The pharmaceutical companies that fund the agency get to decide on a lot of stuff. Those are their private funds, after all. How's that working out?
1
@utah_koidragon7117 Now tell me why 95% cannot self-fund a retirement and must have Social Security and Medicare to live. This is a matter of who can best bear the risk. You imagine individuals can? By themselves? That is an automatic increase in risk, just at the time when a person can least bear it.
1
@utah_koidragon7117 So, you want government to force investment? And that would be better? That's probably unconstitutional. You have a right of contract, which includes the right to decline a contract.
1
@utah_koidragon7117 Not at all. You can vote and petition and argue for any law, such as a tax, or Social Security, to be changed -- just as we are doing now. The Social Security Trust Fund is not invested in the stock market. Government programs may have some features of contracts, but they actually are not. When it comes to freedom of contract, such as you have to buy a given stock or to decline to buy that stock or any stock, if government creates an obligation for individuals to do that, it is probably an infringement on the right of contract under the Constitution. Could they get around that? They could get around most things, yeah. Some want vaccine mandates, others, investment mandates . . . How did we live without all this?

The private entities are the ones bribing the agencies and politicians.
