The people are programmed to think that the only two options are to honor and defer to the Jews or kill the Jews. You are not allowed to entertain the in-between of that no man's land in which I dwell. It has been one of the primary propaganda objectives of our secularly Jewish elite to project this narrative. And if things ever do go south big time economically/socially/politically, there is going to be little to no resistance to go straight from one extreme to the other.
And this situation, like the many situations created by their beloved golems, is clearly no one's fault but their own. It is an interesting gamble. Accept the possibility of being hung up on a lamp post in exchange for great influence and access to power.
I suppose this is the same gamble most in government leadership make. They can't resist but play that game of "How much can I get away with?"

I seem to remember reading an article in Sports Illustrated, way back in the day, where DMSO was discussed. The gist of the reference was that DMSO was an alternative therapy, but had no basis in "science" and should be looked at skeptically.Originally Posted by Mark Rippetoe

Every time I think I have reached maximum disgust with the government, something proves me wrong.

Two quick things: polar, all-or-nothing thinking is based in emotional processing. Usually caused by trauma, but we have more than one generation right now trained to thinking that feeling is thinking. It makes people easy to manipulate, and it's why there's so much white or black thinking. A personal observation: I think it's why so many have fallen away from the Church. Following faith is tough, and as soon as it gets uncomfortable people abandon it for comfort.
Secondly,for those who haven't experienced it... working in the federal government is like stepping into another dimension. The staggering levels of bureaucracy and regulations not only slows everything to a grinding pace... it indoctrinates you. I saw people's heads nearly pop when I would propose alternative courses of action despite the fact that they were still within the rules. The rumors of the FEMA employees not working nights or weekends is, to me, the most immediately believable story out of this. It's not just that they're lazy... it's that the thought to adjust operations to the situation probably never crossed their minds.
I'll let you decide for yourself which is more concerning.

As we pile on with the criticisms of FEMA, here is an interesting interview in which the FEMA director declarers that "just because you do not see a FEMA person in a FEMA shirt, it does not mean that they are not there."

It's also easier, both intellectually and socially (in most circles). (And as we all know, easy doesn't work.)
Once one believes a problem to be solved, the mental energy to worry about it and make decisions about it goes down. Never mind the actual cost down the road - in the short term, the mentally easy solution removes the immediate cost, while the lack of immediate impact removes the force of the urgent to make one face reality. I think that's how a culture like ours with so very much material comfort is able to reinforce so much of what you describe. That prosperity thereby proves to become a distinctly existential threat.
You're dead on, sir. Though I will say that, while it's not that those in the system are necessarily lazy, it can tend to breed and grow an insidious kind of laziness - one where the one afflicted with it believes himself not to be, and thereby is not troubled by his conscience...
That said, this is all a dynamic endemic to bureaucracy itself, and of course the Federal level is pretty much the biggest bureaucracy we have. But you also see it in corporations (and non-profits) as they grow. Startups tend to follow the same trajectory on their ways to becoming large, established companies. There are people who hop from startup to startup for this very reason, to avoid what the big organizations inherently become.
As you and so many others have so often said around here, the answer is not to rely on large organizations and try to police them up; it's to avoid that reliance and invest at the smallest levels, keeping them healthy and strong. Neighbors can look out for each other far better than any government agency ever can. Parents and communities can educate children better than any national department. And so on, across the board.
Depending on the lowest levels for the things appropriate for them should also allow for keeping the higher levels focused on what can ONLY be done at their levels, which is a markedly small number of things, properly understood...

FEMA is working undercover? To keep aid from reaching storm victims?
