Anything the government touches turns into a poorly run enterprise.
Call me crazy, but I don’t trust government officials who believe that population growth (AKA “our carbon footprint”) is the most pressing problem on the planet. If we had bureaucrats who were encouraging us to get married early and have lots of children, I might listen to what they have to say. If we had politicians who spoke endlessly of cheap energy, rising wages, higher standards of living, and the potential for all hard workers to become wealthy, I’d probably throw an attaboy in their general direction. But why would I follow anyone who wants to control what I eat, confiscate what I earn, regulate how I live, and leave me with nothing? When “authorities” tell us that too many people are alive today, we should probably see their words as a threat worth taking seriously.
That’s why I don’t trust the experimental “vaccines” that the government’s favorite pharmaceutical companies managed to manufacture in record time (shortening a process that normally takes fifteen or more years into a miraculously innovative seven or eight months). “Here, take this injection. It will save your life.” Uh, you first. Why don’t we see how your health fares before we start playing Russian roulette with the global population?
It’s nothing personal. Maybe there are some good, decent scientists out there who actually want to fight disease. But there are a whole lot of other scientists who talk quite openly about why humanity must cull the herd. “Sustainable growth” sounds hunky-dory until you realize that you are the unsustainable growth that the “experts” want to stem. Once a person has that epiphany, the magic juice in those COVID syringes looks a little less magical.

ANY ideology, system of government, or world view that makes it harder for people to direct their own lives, benefit from their own ambitions and efforts, and self determine is regressive, NOT progressive.
The Big Three for the commies are still: Overpopulation, Nationalism and Organized Religion.

The book that the author is discussing is 'American Leviathan'
The Leviathan (monster) being the US Government.
And the people we send to congress think that they can only be productive in their job if they help to make the monster BIGGER.

I wish he would get a Nobel prize in economics before he crosses the Rainbow Bridge.
Someone eligible ought to nominate him.
