Thin the herd

America's (and Britain's) only chance to avoid following the Weimar Republic's economic trajectory is to vigorously grow our economy.

That means chopping back regulations.

Regulations are "Default: STOP". That is, "Stop until you satisfy the regulator that you are complying with their understanding of the regulations".

Every stop creates a delay-to-market. Every delay creates cash-burn as staff is paid, interest is accrued. Every delay-to-market allows competitors advantage and increases the risk of your product/service appearing dated and low-feature.

Regulators don't care. Nope. In fact, stopping people is how they demonstrate that they are "needed" and "necessary".

There are far too many laws on the books. They are contradictory and ambiguous. Judicial interpretations twist and bend the original intent. There is far too much governmental meddling in the economy. The US auto industry pissed away $200 Billion in trying to meet EV mandates. That amounts to $1800 per household. For one industry. For one requirement.

The regulatory process is the choke-point that is strangling American innovation.

The only way to loosen the noose of regulation is to thin-the-herd. Eliminate departments. Comb the lice out of the scalps of productive people. Throw them into the fire (figuratively speaking).
