Then the misperception should be exploited for all it's worth, in order to drive up demands and expectations.
The higher the bar is "normalized", the better.
Even corporate journalists can't stand corporate journalists. :tears:
"The battle is won when the average American regards a corporate journalist exactly as they regard a tobacco executive." -- Michael Malice
I was specifically referring to a "Department of Reducing the Cost of Living", not to a "Department of Government Efficiency".
As for a "Department of Government Efficiency" (or of "Reducing the Size of Government", or whatever), I am not opposed to the idea in theory - and if (when ?) it ended up being a wheel-spinning failure in actual practice, there are certainly worse subject areas for cabinet-level bureaucracies to be involved with.
Here's what I said on the subject in another thread:
So, you don’t really even understand how all this shit works, yet you still feel competent to ridicule people, like myself, who actually do?
Priceless.
That, too, shall pass, once it has served its purpose and is itself deemed insufficiently "diverse" and "inclusive" (or whatever other pleasant-sounding but empty verbiage is in fashion at the time).
Indeed it is, comrade.
Onward, ho!
So, you take a sniff, mistake an anti-Fed argument for a minimum wage argument, and jump off board? Do you think victims of inflation and the systematic destruction of manufacturing jobs should be stripped of the right to vote, but corporations should get to vote even though they are things, not people? You say government is the problem, not the corporations, but I don't see you acknowledging who or what it is that is paying the lobbyists to make the particular bribes they make.
Did a delay in response give the gunman more time? Cops face questions over why it took three hours for SWAT teams to storm Orlando nightclub as police chief admits officers may have shot some of the VICTIMS
...Police Chief John Mina has also admitted that some of the victims may have been hit by officers' gun fire.
However he insisted it is a part of the investigation into the horrific attack.
I just can't decide who to vote for in the presidential race. They're both just so perfect! I can't believe it. Things are just going so well I never considered firing the president, but this Romney guy is just such a temptation!
Romney promises us more war. Obama promised us just the opposite, but that's ok, because he saw Dubya's two wars and raised us three police actions. I think that's a wonderful thing, and can't wait for the next one. I heard somewhere that with six you
Once upon a time, there was a thing called the Interstate Commerce Commission. It was founded to prevent kamikaze capitalism amongst railroads in a day when their efficiencies and primitive technology pretty much guaranteed them a monopoly in viable transportation.
The best thing Reagan did, in my opinion, and the one time I felt some hope for a moment that he would prove to be the libertarian he claimed to be, was when he abolished this bureau. But it was a decade too late to save
What has it to do with politics? Everything. Politicians piss us off, then try to misdirect our anger 'across the aisle' to people who are fundamentally exactly the same, but wear a different party label. The game is age old, but still works.
People are angry, but they are often in denial about it. They know they're angry, but they don't want to admit they're angry
