Thanks!

Since we have so much to be thankful for, we should take more time for this holiday.  How about from now to Christmas.. nay, New Years?

We have much to be thankful for, but it is also true that the world can be a wicked place, and that is good to know.

Both democrats and republicans want collectivization, and they play a game of hand-off where one proposes and the other imposes.  The Republican mantra of "Get Big or Get Out" in agriculture is matched by the Democrat version in medicine.  Collectivization in food has led to widespread disease that threatens our food delivery.  Collectivization in medicine has led to widespread disease that threatens our health care delivery.  Both threats are welcomed by big business, for the monopolistic profit potential.  And both problems are solved by small business.  The possibility of solution to the problem makes small business a threat to big business in USA.  Know this, and much becomes clear.

The feds regulated small slaughterhouses out of existence, and so we yielded this:

Outbreaks of food-borne illnesses, including mad cow disease, are driving people’s desire to know where their meat comes from. Savvy consumers want more information about where and how their food was raised, said Willard Wolf, a rancher from Valleyford and board president for the livestock processors cooperative that built the Odessa plant.
“If you walk into some grocery stores or fast-food chains, your hamburger could have up to 600 DNAs in it from imported trimmings from Australia or Canada or wherever,” Wolf said. “You don’t know how it was raised.”

It is a crime in USA to test for mad cow disease as a condition of sale.

The feds regulated small clinics out of existence so we yielded this, hospitals are a dangerous place to be if you are sick:

MRSA is especially troublesome in hospitals, prisons and nursing homes, where patients with open wounds, invasive devices, and weakened immune systems are at greater risk of infection than the general public.

In most states, it is a crime for a doctor to open a clinic with a bed without permission from a board.

In both cases the problem arose with collectivization.  In both cases, the solution is small innovative businesses, yet in both cases the solutions are deemed criminal.

The solution requires freedom, but there is not a single player on the horizon that calls for freedom, only more of the same, including the Tea Party folks, and anyone else.  Not medicine, not law, not academia, certainly not politicians, not labor, not religion, not industry.  No one.  You simply cannot make it to the commanding heights with being a collectivist.

There are plenty of people who would rather rule in hell than serve in heaven.  Being self-employed is to serve others, and hence that is disdained.  For those who would rather rule in hell, there are countless others, the majority in fact, who cheer them on "fight our battles for us"  and "thank you for your service."

None of this is unexpected, see 1 Samuel 8, and 1 Samuel 12 for the double down.

This will necessarily fall apart, always has, always will.  It cannot be reformed because it is fundamentally flawed.  The question is will there be enough remnant to form a workable polity.  We have a few examples of peace and prosperity, such as Switzerland, Hong Kong, Iceland, Singapore, Andorra, San Marco, etc...   and the USA was originally designed to mimic that, but too few people even know that, and fewer want it.

If you are aware of it, and want it, then you have something to be thankful for.   There is nothing more revolutionary than starting a business.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
