A disaster occurs. The cause is lack of adequate regulation of a company that sought to maximize profit (as it should). The people who are affected are largely members of a “small government” political party.
Now they blame the government for not doing enough.
We might at least acknowledge that we weaponize the government because there are no superheroes. Really! Superman is fiction. So are imaginings of Donald Trump or Senator Cruz.
We weaponize the government to help get us out of places that we entered and locked.
Send in the custodians. Where are the custodians? “Maybe next year.”
Regulations and enforcement are adversarial by nature. We should design a livable country. And let’s nationalize the railroads already.
