Politicians routinely lie, hide facts, evade taxes, help their kin with lucrative contracts. Media is complicit mostly because of the negative repercussions they might have to face.
They falsify or hide records, they blame things on opponents. A thread 🧵 for your awareness👇
President Biden's administration is scrambling to track the nearly $20 billion in military aid it has sent to Ukraine as Republicans warn of impending audits when they take control of the House in January.
Isn’t this enough for proof Mr. Biden
Politicians are the problem creators not the solution finders. They create more problems fixing what they’ve broken already and blame them on previous administration as always.
When is Mr. Biden getting a Nobel prize for his radical breakthroughs in crypto based #MoneyLaundering from #FTX, Ukraine and #SBF_FTX
Since it’s filmed by her daughter…
Myth will be portrayed as reality
Myth: The greatest woman politician to ever live on the face of the earth
Reality: The most corrupt insider trading politician to ever live on the face of the planet earth
Presenting to you a US representative. At least maintain a little decency.
Biden steals your money through inflation, Inflation Reduction Act, Student Loan Forgiveness, Ukraine war funding, money laundering through FTX etc.
His staff steal things like purses, luggages etc. they’re all thieves.
DONT WORRY SON, PRESS WILL COVER FOR US AS LONG AS WE ARE IN POWER…
AFTER THAT OUR FRIENDS FROM THE DC SWAMP WILL
Non-binary Biden nuclear official (Sam Brinton) used ‘stolen’ suitcase from Minneapolis airport for month after dumping woman’s clothes…
Now the whole luggage section looks like this so he/she/they can steal to hearts content 😂

America sure doesn’t want to be ruled by airheads, knuckleheads, chuckleheads and bone heads
🔥🔥The Tale of Four Heads 🔥🔥
Airhead floats with thoughts so light,
Dreaming in the broad daylight.
Lost in clouds, without a care,
Wanders here, then drifts elsewhere.
Bonehead’s dense, a stubborn sort,
Hard to crack, though full of naught.
Tried and tried to think things through,
But thinking’s not what boneheads do!
Chucklehead laughs loud and long,
Finds a joke in what’s all wrong.
Every mishap, every fall,
Is funny when you’re chuckle tall.
Knucklehead’s the one who fights,
Argues loud through days and nights.
Thinks with fists instead of brains,
Quick to anger, slow to gains.
Four heads wander through the town,
Causing grins and some a frown.
But together, day or night,
They keep life a little light!
Over the past 125 years, the U.S. government's approach to regulation has undergone significant transformations, reflecting changes.
Over-regulation and government expansion has become a significant issue these days. Some of the factors include:
🚩Expansion of Regulatory Scope: Initially, regulations were primarily focused on economic activities like interstate commerce, banking, and transportation. Over time, this scope expanded dramatically to include environmental protection, consumer safety, health care, telecommunications, and more. This shift was partly due to the recognition of externalities and public goods that the market might not address efficiently.
🚩Creation of Regulatory Agencies: The establishment of agencies like the Interstate Commerce Commission (1887), later followed by the Environmental Protection Agency (1970), and others, marked a trend towards specialized regulatory bodies. These agencies have grown in number and influence, with each often having a specific sector or issue to oversee.
🚩Environmental and Social Regulations: The latter half of the 20th century saw a surge in regulations aimed at protecting the environment and public health, with landmark legislation like the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and various amendments expanding federal authority into areas previously left to states or not regulated at all.
🚩Technological Influence: The rise of technology has both necessitated new regulations (like internet privacy, cybersecurity) and influenced how regulations are implemented (e.g., through digital reporting, electronic rule-making platforms). This has also led to debates over net neutrality and data protection, showcasing the government's struggle to keep pace with technological change.
The “Cobra Effect” refers to a situation where an attempted solution to a problem makes the problem worse, due to unintended consequences. The term comes from an anecdote set in colonial India, where the British government, concerned about the number of venomous cobras in Delhi, offered a bounty for every dead cobra. Initially, this seemed to work as people brought in dead cobras for the reward. However, enterprising individuals began to breed cobras for the sole purpose of collecting the bounty. When the government realized this and stopped the bounty program, the cobra breeders set their now-worthless snakes free, leading to a significant increase in the wild cobra population.
This story illustrates a common issue in incentive systems and policy-making:
1. Unintended Consequences:
Solutions can lead to behaviors that exacerbate the original problem.
2. Perverse Incentives:
When rewards are offered, people might find ways to exploit the system rather than solve the problem.
3. Short-term vs. Long-term Thinking:
Quick fixes might offer immediate relief but can lead to worse outcomes in the long run.
The Cobra Effect is often cited in economics, sociology, and public policy to caution against poorly designed incentives or policies without considering all possible outcomes. The lesson from the Cobra Effect is to carefully design systems, policies, or incentives with a thorough understanding of human behavior and potential loopholes that could be exploited.
Governments often designs policies with a narrow scope without understanding the wider implications for human behavior leading to significant waste of resources, time and money.
