Yes, this makes me want to go out for a drive just as a big FU to der Staat.

Everyone jumps off bridges after following government guidelines to jump off bridges.

His latest on the lawsuit, in which we are still in discovery.

Here is McIntyre’s Twitter thread.
It’s about corruption, not “sloppiness.”
Yes. It’s a shame that Horowitz can’t be more forthright about that.
It’s long past time to track it.
Bureaucracy kills.

I should add that, when this is over, we should have a national commission to review all federal regulatory actions and legislation, and see how much of it is still necessary (if it ever was) and how much of it is actively harmful (e.g., plastic-bag bans) with little benefit/cost ratio. At least we never got that nonsense at a federal level. So it would also be useful to examine state-level regs, for info purposes for those states. But unfortunately, contra bulls**t claims from the Democrats about being the “party of science,” this nonsense will likely continue.
How would it respond to the virus?
It’s been many decades since there’s been anything resembling a free market in this country’s health care, other than things like Lasik.

Speaking of (lack of) free markets, restaurants in Los Angeles are being shut down for selling groceries without a license.
Government seems determined to put business out of business.

A lot of regulations are merely special-interest rent seeking.

Trump is rolling back fuel-efficiency standards.
He should eliminate them, if possible, but that would probably require legislation. They are an idiotic relic of the energy crisis, almost half a century ago. In my opinion, they’re unconstitutional, or should be. Same with toilet specifications.
Every single one that Horowitz examined was flawed.
Shut the whole thing down, and prosecute some people.
Will we ever know what was actually on it?
Not unless there’s a thorough housecleaning at the FBI.

I’m sure there are a lot of people at the bureau happy to have a pandemic to keep this out of the news, not that most of the media would want to report on it anyway.
