There’s a Gresham’s law of government: bad government drives out good people. The present agglomeration of politicians and bureaucrats are a bunch of incompetent, venal stooges. From el gato malo at boriquagato.substack.com:
are we living through late stage rule by rube?
it’s a wild world these days. the collision course is obvious:
on the one hand we have been giving ever more power to governments, regulators, central banks, and central planners.
on the other hand, the people chosen to run such things are getting ever more stupid, incompetent, and uncomprehending.
it’s like trying to fix bad drivers by giving them ever faster formula one cars loaded with ever more volatile and explosive fuels and then letting them drive up into the stands with the crowd.
the risk value seems to be a simple equation:
power X incompetence = danger
and the speed of the growth is making me wonder if there is really some sort of exponential in here. you pass a point and the speed with which wheels come off gets rapid. are we seeing late stage “gato’s postulate” in action?
(a democratic government powerful enough to dictate that which is bought and sold will inevitably devolve into rule by rube.)
it’s literally jaw dropping how uninformed and incompetent these people have become.
The race car in the stands!
I LMFAO!
All intentional or useful idiots?
Why not both as the forgotten meme of lil’ Evita says.

This administration couldn’t competently run bath water, much less the most powerful nation on Earth. Lord, help us.
