        Regulation isn’t extreme, it’s setting basic rules everyone has to play by.

        Capitalist propaganda making us think basic rules and regulations are extreme is absolutely extremist rhetoric tho.

          Regulatory capture would be my obvious. When businesses use the regulatory body that is supposed to regulate them to destroy any competition by making it so onerous to follow the regulations that unless you set up your business before the regulations were put into place, you can’t hope to enter the market, and then abuse consumers and the environment.

    Congress can revoke his “emergency” powers to do this whenever they want. They won’t though, because most Americans are so out of touch that they don’t know that. The final destination of “I don’t do politics” being the dominant view.

    Aren’t these the same rat bastards that assisted him into office by trying to provide “both sides” coverage up until about a month before the election?
