Is this an effort to make the free market system as inefficient and expensive as communism?

Part of the problem for the administration and the Democrat Party is that, because they serve a vast array of special interest groups, their actions are molded in a way to cater to the demands of those groups. Ergo, their decisions don't make sense logically (i.e., they don't seem to solve the problems at hand)...they only make sense in light of the demands of the special interest groups.

Oil is a case in point. The country needs oil but instead of utilizing our own available resources, the President begs Saudi Arabia for oil. Looks completely illogical until one considers the Green lobby.

Same for electricity. We discourage the use of electricity in homes (see California), but encourage the purchase of electric cars. Illogical until we realize that the administration is twisting itself into pretzels to give the appearance of addressing the problem while at the same time trying to appease a special interest group (the Green lobby once again).

Yes.

It is nothing more than extra woke crappola. Any system that throws in subjective social garbage and still tries to market itself as an economic indicator — well, who is more stupid? Them or the ones who adopt it?
