"We Broke Everything" with Bruce Sidlinger

Bruce Sidlinger returns to the show with his, let's call it a manifesto, "Everything's Broken". What's been lost in America and where we're heading. A must listen!Here's a transcript of his opening comments!
Jeff, we broke everything
 
We broke our worth ethic by rewarding identity instead of merit
 
We broke the systematic equality of opportunity that we had finally achieved and now we’re replacing it with a perpetual war between identities
 
We broke the dollar with insane deficit spending, we just haven’t realized it yet
 
…and we’re about to break the virtuous traditions of savings and self-reliance with runaway inflation, impoverishing our conservative elders
 
We broke any chance of good government going forward by embracing censorship
 
We broke the public school system by forgetting that schools are for the students and not for the teachers
 
We broke our universities by financing their descent into nonsense, and now we’re going to break peoples’ expectations of fairness with student loan forgiveness
 
We broke the nuclear family and that meant we broke our children’s childhoods
 
… and we broke our children’s adulthoods too with an unrealistic starting wage that means they’ll never get that important starter job
 
We broke our cities by abandoning law & order
 
We broke housing with unconstitutional takings from landlords and that will get worse with runaway property taxation. Developers will flee
 
We broke our world-leading corporate culture because so many employees will never go back to the office
 
We broke industry by outsourcing to China anything that seemed hard
 
And we’re breaking the very concept of America as a country with this opening of our borders. Instead of a nation we’ll just be an area of soil with people and stuff on it. Taking in all the oppressed and impoverished peoples of the world may be a kind-hearted notion, but it’s completely unattainable and all these promises are only promises of future heartbreak. Just like how we’re giving up our energy independence to countries that pollute vastly more, the principle known as the tragedy of the commons tells us that doing these things unilaterally is pointless self-immolation
 
None of these new ideas scales or sustains, which i guess is about what you would expect if you put uneducated, inexperienced, self-indulgent cynics with no knowledge of the development of civilization in charge of all the decisions
 
I just hope the vaccines of Operation Warp Speed, where our tiny Shining City on the Hill yet again saved the planet, doesn’t turn out to have been our last great gift to humanity
 
But I don’t want you to be sad, Jeff, so here’s a joke: Two peanuts were in a bad neighborhood. One was a salted.     Bruce Sidlinger

Show #1059: Tuesday, March 2, 2021Barcoding kids? Dr. Huber on America’s mental health decline.

Are Dr. Seuss’ days numbered? The fall of the tyrants? Is the day of political reckoning for the three biggest tyrants in America finally upon us. First Governor Newsom of California star faded politically with an all but certain recall.  Governor of New York Cuomo falling politically with multiple allegations of sexual harassment. Now Governor Whitmer of Michigan star is fading with the Legislature looking at a large unexplained payout of a health department head.Get your barcode! The “Daily Pass” is coming. Jeff talks about Bill Gates, “safe for daily pass” program. Kids will get a QR code (barcode) in order to get into school in LA! Wow! Fun!Get your registration renewed at Walmart! DMV of Arizona expands outsourcing. The flagship of state failure finally offloads one of their main services.

Bruce Sidlinger on “soul crushing” regulations!43:02-73:32Bruce leans on Jeff’s amateur plumbing knowledge. Bruce shares some stories about stocking the truck up with routers in the early days of the internet. Vandalism and the stripping of infrastructure. The discussion (of course) leads to the collapsing of complex societies including Rome and Mesopotamia and a discussion on how complex our society is. Does anyone really know much about how most things actually run? Plus rebuilding civilization in Bruce’s image and other assorted things you need to hear. It takes a village? Well, maybe a small one, of people that actually know how to do stuff. An update on Olivia’s hats. “Soul crushing” governmental challenges arise? Most politicians have “never done”, so how are they going to tell you how to do? Obamacare, keeping your doctor and saving you money one increase at a time. But now you can open a coffee shop. It’s that easy. Visualization of $6,000,000,000,000 of Covid stimulus and what does the average American have to show for it? If they had handed it out it would equal about $46,000 per household.
