And if multinationals are found to be non-compliant to regulations they either receive a slap on the wrist or a waiver.

Yes, they are the ones that have compliance and legal teams on staff and with the time they can dedicate to push things in their direction. Who can compete?
Big government is good at doing one thing: partially solving “problems” that they were instrumental in creating. The bigger the institution, the worse it gets.
And as destructive as Green,Inc. is, it still pales in comparison to Big Pharma and the “Defense” Department, at least down here in the States. It’s bad everywhere, though. Small, extremely limited local government is the way to go…
This is what Russell Brand has been advocating for - but obviously a huge grassroots movement would be needed and a complete revolution because which govt official do you know wants to hand off their underworked jobs (+ benefits & gold plated pension) to make it happen?
I will toss out something hopeful. A couple of things. Make it easier and easier to do productive things, as you say, and they will get done. People are infinitely creative because they are intrinsically connected to That which is Infinitely Creative. Practicality and actual good intentions, not Utopian, from people being willing to improve, can do anything. The most hopeful thing though is what makes life beautiful and worth living is always simple and loving. A billionaire and a street person both their best days are sitting in the sun talking to a buddy and laughing a bit. Hanging out with grandkids or kids, sharing a SIMPLE meal, not a luxurious $500 a plate meal. This is all you need. And we seem to need some ‘skin on skin’ time. You need hugs. From everyone but also from a lover. People need to push themselves a bit, not too strenuously too. But that will happen as we deregulate. The only real issue we face is the fact 80% of the developed world’s population has been systemically poisoned. But that is solvable. Our God given immune systems are also infinitely creative. Be healthy for 3-4 years, STOP taking pharma except in an emergency for as short a time as one can, take health into your own hands…ie use the Medical Industrial Complex sparingly, and health will return.
Gary A: Tax revolts were common in the USA during the Great Depression. I haven't researched the issue and of course, the world and government are different today so who knows what would happen. But if the people ALL say "NO MORE" the government is powerless to force taxes on us.
I’m referring to the prosecutions ongoing against Jan 6 Patriots.
The George Floyd related riots didn’t receive the same attention, and why?
The quality of the “offenders”
targeted.
Deep state fears them, they don’t care if Target is burned to the ground by looters, but when servicemen, firefighters, police, come to the capitol to protest the election, they know they are up against people who won’t fold.
"Within months, months, the province boomed." Indeed. It always happens that way. In Dec of 2019 we had the highest purchasing power of our lives.
Did you ever hear of the Depression of 1920/21? Nope, because Coolidge cut government by 40% and we had the roaring 20's. Same with Nixon, Ronaldus, and Trump. That is why government kicked two of them out and tried hard with Ronaldus.
Yes you could get the impression today that Reagan was well liked by the media, he was not, he went over their heads to the people with wit and respect and humor.
In the papers he was taking food from the mouth of babies.
Kevin Falcon has not been “in power” yet - he was simply a member of Gordon Campbell’s and then Christy Clark’s BC Liberal govt. Yes, he was finance minister BUT Gordon Campbell was the one pushing the financial policies that got BC out of the hole it was in. He told me in an interview in 1994 that his ideas for monetary policy came from his mother Peg who drummed into her boys that you can’t spend money that you don’t have. It was Peg’s teachings that got BC out of the shitter last time. Kevin, by the way, told me he still subscribes to that way of thinking. FYI - Gordon’s brother is Michael Campbell of Mike’s Moneytalks. You should check him out.
I’m not positive as it was 20+ years ago but I think Elizabeth is correct. Falcon was a cabinet member and was at least partly responsible for reducing regulations in the early part of his career as an mla.
The article does seem to give an impression that Falcon was the leader though.
These are the same ilk as brought on FDR's " decimate the herds to raise prices " lines of thought. With that failure, take 'em to war. And where have we been since ?

Thank you , again ! Looking forward to next phase.
P.S. I live 10 miles from what used to be the southern border; yes, in TEXAS !. Our Uniparty delegates have not done jackxxxt for us EVER in this matter. This summer is the ten- year anniversary of when the mass groups would walk up farm-to-market roads from the Rio to " surrender " to the Border Patrol , who are now the largest daycare operation in the country. The " got aways " trample cultivated fields and cut livestock fences. Multiple charter buses pass my office window daily, headed north. Soon it will backflow into our area. There will be less food production here , since the Uniparty has until now paid no attention to our water treaty with Mexico. That country owes our region 870,000 acre-feet of water. That goes not only to agriculture but to municipal use. Mexico can't pay it. The dams and reservoirs they built on tributaries upstream, to make NAFTA work in the ag sector, are as depleted as the two we share on the Rio. Hmmm....debts that cannot be paid. Why such a familiar tune ?
This is the most significant reality of the world picture now: the wishes of the manager class are going in one direction while the actual dynamics of economy and politics go in the opposite direction. The managers wish for their management of systems to become as centralized and top-down as possible; but the very systems they manage are breaking down and seeking to reorganize at smaller scale, distributed locally. The tension entailed is explosive.

Multinationals do love regulation.because of economies of scale they can afford to be in compliance.
Family businesses find themselves hogtied, tangled, and bankrupt.
Never a truer word. Astounding that local bureaucrats miss this.
i doubt they "miss" it - they are either outnumbered or dont care.
And if multinationals are found to be non-compliant to regulations they either receive a slap on the wrist or a waiver. Small businesses on the other hand are slammed to the ground with fines and threats of closure. Multinationals are too big to fail and small businesses are too small to succeed according to the bureaucracy.
Regulations are job security for bureaucrats justified by consumers safety
If they’re fined then they’ll appeal and negotiate it down.
But they have a compliance officer overseeing 1,000 locations and they are probably in compliance.
Yes, they are the ones that have compliance and legal teams on staff and with the time they can dedicate to push things in their direction. Who can compete?
If the last 5 years have proven anything, it's that bureaucrats destroy everything they touch.

Sharpen your hay forks. You will need them.
Reach out and touch a ________\gov, hehe…
As Elizabeth points out, the solution is there; cut regulations. Maybe a tax revolt would get the government's attention.
January 6 got the government’s attention.
You think a tax revolt would be treated as a constitutionally protected protest?
You’d be wrong.
Who cares-if people start to protest-it's all we got-as citizens-nothing else works.Pushback.Boundries.
Gary A: Tax revolts were common in the USA during the Great Depression. I haven't researched the issue and of course, the world and government are different today so who knows what would happen. But if the people ALL say "NO MORE" the government is powerless to force taxes on us.

May God preserve them.
Gary Anderson: Trump could have pardoned the Jan 6 protesters, but didn't. He also didn't pardon Julian Assange. I think Trump is a coward.
In canada they'd declare "emergency" and start being draconian to people they don't like.
This is what happens when a priestly caste is given power. They have climbed to power on the moral system values that have been in decay.

No one's likes bureaucrats and yet we keep electing progressives who love them (here in the States as well). So whose fault is it really?
Not mine. I'm not stupid enough for that ish.
Do we elect them? Or do they dishonestly elect themselves?
Well, Mark Twain said that if voting matters, they wouldn’t let us do it.🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
