In other words, legislators will have to start doing their jobs. For 40 years they have been writing sloppy legislation so they can tell their voters "I got suchandsuch passed! But it's not my fault the admin interprets it different than I intended and there's nothing I can do about it."
This should also mean fewer administrative, power-drunk, bureaucrats should be needed.
There is serious research on the new energy saving lightbulbs and affect on humans. The amount of negative results found regarding these energy saving lights is mounting. These lights are shown to be having one heck of a negative effect on humans.
The lights could be taking our health! Mentally/physically.
Where were the agencies to protect us when these inventions were regulated to do no harm? Oh,
It never happened?
How about 4 and 5G.
Where are the new studies to prove this is safe for All life, not just humans! The 5G could impact nature itself. We need the unbiased studies to prove it doesn’t.
Where are the studies that Prove fluoride is not damaging human’s IQ of children?
The agencies that are there to do the job- have been bought!
They are Captured.
Sadly, we are at the late stages, always.
How could we be so trusting and so blind????
What about Chemtrails?
Vaccines, Covid 19 AND all the rest?
PUFAs, Forever Chemicals, Glyphosate, and all the other chemicals polluting us and the planet?
ModifiedmRNA technology used in us as well as used in our previous food supply?
What about genetically modifying mosquitoes and letting them breed.
What about Dirty Electricity affecting human bodies as well as EMF?
We need Real Agencies protecting us and the planet. Not the bought kind with revolving doors !
I wonder how many people on Meryl's substack have visited, called, or written their senators and representatives on any of the subject you mention. You may get ignored or worse, but if we don't try, they will have even less of a clue, and zero balance to the special interests.
People did call and write their governors attorney generals, and members of Congress, so that the Republicans listened, stood up against the who and the health regulation amendments went nowhere
Candidates for Congress said the WHO was the number one issue they would hear about on the campaign Trail
It wouldn't be for lack of being conditioned to give up on government, not to mention our conditioning our elected representatives to expect to be able to do whatever they want and get rewarded for it anyway, just as Larry and the Ape point out. The issue of accountability flows both ways.
When you see almost the entirety of congress waving Ukraine flags because they just sent a sh*t ton more money to Ukraine, you know.... while our vets starve and freeze and our cities crumble, you might get the idea that calling "your rep" and voting don't do a damn thing.
I'm in the deep blue state of Washington but still make the fruitless effort of routinely emailing my congressman, little good it does. He's completely oblivious to the wants of his conservative constituents. Last time I wrote him, I gave him a good scolding for his custodial, parental mentality. Never does he mention the will of the people, only the power and ability of congress.
Joy, that's sad (even though it's typical for the left coast). Do you have any way (other than here) of publicizing his responses? Does your local newspaper have a "Letters to the Editor" option that doesn't censor anything non-narrative? Have you resorted to the one and only thing that works in all circumstances (prayer)? Have you seen doorways open and/or found both peace and continued resolve when you do?
It generally falls on deaf ears, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I would think that if we know about these things, they should and do. It's a question of morals going down the drain.
That was an amazing rundownn of the free rein of the evils that are being perpetrated on humanity. Unfortunately our great society has produced a proliferation of wealth and heidenism for many. These individuals believe "if it doesn't affect me personally, why worry about it." This apathy combined, with the blatent lies and censorship of the status quo, produces a negative synergy that further compounds the problem. Forget the lower middle to the impoverished segments of our society as as they focus on mere survival. We care, but I don't know if there are enough of us to outrun the train that carries the evils of which you speak. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Hopefully God will intervene to help us. Let's pray for that to happen. Thank you, sister, for being one of the few who do care and for your excellent synopsis.
Excellent account Georgina! We need to mobilize a herd of activist attorneys (hopefully on a contingency basis) to sue the pants off them , so the emperors of the Medical Industrial Complex and the Chemical Industrial Complex "have no clothes."
My husband refers to it as the Obama cycles!! This is all on Obama!!! He worked in the appliance industry his whole life and the crap Obama and now Obiden mandated destroyed efficient appliances, since Obama is still directing this destruction!! I bought every incandescent light bulb I could find when they mandated their removal.
When I purchased my HE washer, the salesman told me it would last 5-7 years.
I was stunned because I was used to washers lasting 20 years.
Hadn't paid attention to the government regulations being insane. I just want a washer that I can set the water level and the time in minutes.
Is that too much to ask?
Did the same as you about the light bulbs. Purchased as many as I could before they were "outlawed." Many people don't realize that some folks have problems with the LEDs.
Yep, that’s the life of them except one I will share with you. Buy Speed Queen, they have an Obama cycle that you ignore and use the others! We bought them for our sons, my mom and ourselves. Pray they don’t go after them!!! They actually still completely fill up because isn’t it more efficient to do one load instead of two because it doesn’t fill all the way!!!!! Yes!!! But leave the destruction to the idiots destroying good products! Just like they are doing to our Country! And you can actually pick small, medium and large loads!!! What a novel idea that we could actually think of that ourselves!
You can still purchase a basic Kenmore washer that has no electronics. Sure, the dogs in the agitator will break in around 7 years, but can be replaced for $3.49 a set and a bit of elbow grease. My original is still going strong at 25 years and allows me to be as economical as I desire since I can choose the water temperature, level settings, and cycle duration. Of course, a bit of thought is required (GASP).
Back in the 80s, I worked in a service station owned by a gentleman farmer.
One of his customers had an old Ford with a leaky water pump. We wound up replacing it with a new one used in washing machines. Henry Ford didn't believe in inventing things that already existed.
This was the central point of Chevron -- that administrative agencies must not be delegated broad powers by which Congress abdicates its duty to carefully legislate. The administrative state has thrived under Chevron (also mentioned by the Court), creating dangerous imbalance between the separation of powers. Perhaps Congress should legislate on glyphosate directly, for instance, rather than permit captured regulatory agencies like the EPA and USDA to keep telling us its OK to consume while the rest of the world bans it. Government-corporate bureaucracy is slaying humanity. https://www.libertynation.com/administrative-creep-on-the-chopping-block/
Exactly so, John. This immediately became a corrupting influence across Government because of the revolving door between regulatory agencies and regulated corporations. A regulator could enact a regulation that favored some corporation last week on Wednesday, take early retirement from the Government of Friday, and today show up at that same corporation, employed as their lobbyist. In 1986 a major concern at EPA was Superfund sites that were poisoning drinking water with abandoned chemical waste. Corporations distracted public attention from those toxin dangers by funding creation of a new fear of climate change. The corporate "cure" for climate change was to put toxins into batteries and get them on our highways. When the batteries fail some years later, half a million electric cars will be abandoned in junkyards to leak toxins in the water. Environmental policy got the sh*tty side of the paper thanks to zero legislative oversight for four decades.
I'd prefer it if Committee Chairs lost the power to introduce 50,000-page "emergency bills" that some corporate lobbyists spent years writing, then stuffed in a crate awaiting the right crisis as an excuse to pull them out. If your own lawyer told you to sign a 50,000-page contract that you didn't understand and he never read, you could sue him bankrupt for giving you such lousy advice. Members of Congress who represent half-a-million people should follow the same standard: If the lobbyists cannot explain what's in their bill, either they're lazy or crooked. Vote NO if it's not readable, should be standard procedure.
President Coolidge wrote in his memoirs that "About three-fifths of a President's visitors want something that they ought not to have. If I sat dead still and stared at them for two minutes, most of them would run out of the room".
Let's push for a "mandate" to Congress that no bill can be over 30 pages long and MUST be read and acknowledged under perjury before voting on it. Lots of bills, lots of votes and that's OK. No more lobbyists writing bills!
You might want to visit http://DownsizeDC.org as they have advocated a short package of reforms that address these issues. When they first proposed the reforms they were ridiculed by Pelosi et al. They won over Ron Paul and his son. Now the momentum is building.
In his Farewell Address in January 1961, Eisenhower had great concern that a military-industrial complex with the power to classify its blunders and swindle Congress for more money, threatened our liberties, our finances, and our national security. 60 years later Congress rubber-stamps the screwups with coverup money. Warning not heeded, and should have been
Congress doesn't write laws. Unelected bureaucrats and lobbyists write the laws. Congressmen simply take their graft, put in their pocket, and then vote on thousands of pages of unread crap foisted upon the American taxpayer.
"Muscle memory", what bullshit. That's for *physical* actions. What is required is cognitive power plus broad knowledge of science, math, and economics, and most members of Congress are severely lacking in both. However, if the purpose of regulatory action is to actually prevent harms to humans, other life forms, and the environment in general, *rather than the anti-competitive motivations usually involved*, it shouldn't be too hard for even the lesser-endowed-brainwise members to come up with some reasonable rules that survive courtroom shenanigans.
Why the muscle memory got flabby and the cognitive mentation feeble, John, is that the Chevron ruling coincided with the rise of CNN and FOX and the collapse of written journalism. Powerful Committee Chairs hire technical experts to assist Congress and rank-and-file Members occasionally get TV time for a quick sound bite. Congress became a PR agency that made political ads designed to look like journalism. It abandoned its Article II functions to the Cabinet agencies, many of which then underwent corporate capture. The revolving door between regulated corporations and the un-elected regulators who now regulate them is a national disgrace. The preamble of our Constitution begins "We the People", not "We The Corporate Lobbyists". Fiat justitia, ruat Caelum! The captured corporate media have lost all believability because advertising dollars outrank viewers' need to know, and as people return to studying issues rather than reacting
emotionally to shocking video clips, Congress will either learn or be replaced by new Members who've visited their constituents and know what is affecting us.
John, do you think the person who wrote that intended to suggest that Congress was a bunch of muscle heads? If not, it still could be an appropriate thought.
Rush Limbaugh bemoaned the fact many tend to vote for a more conservative (i.e., constitutional, for the most part) president than legislators. But Presidents aren't kings. They need a Congress that will pass conservative legislation. And unconstitutional executive orders are not the answer, because they empower the bad guys, TOO! The constitution clearly says "ALL legislative powers are vested in a Congress..." And that DOESN'T mean they can usurp the 10th amendment powers of the States and people.
If people keep voting for democrat and RINO legislators for special interests while voting for a more conservative president, they are hindering progress back to a freer country. Those that vote that way while valuing freedom need to learn that ASAP. As Dan Bongino says, "cutesy time is over."
I don't want more laws. I want fewer and I want to know everything about them before they screw us.
Every law restricts our freedom. We should want fewer laws, not more.
If Congress will have to be more specific, it is about time they were required to tell the people not only the reasons for the law, and the great benefits we will get from more restrictions on our freedom, but Congress must be MANDATED to include the FORESEEABLE HARMFUL EFFECTS of the laws they write, not just the part that tells us how wonderful the law will be for us until we find out the hard way how bad it really is.
Very brief example:
The minimum wage increase:
What's good about it?
The lowest paid people will get more money.
What are the FORESEEABLE HARMFUL EFFECTS (the reality) of a minimum wage increase?
-Some or many of the lowest paid workers will get fired.
-Some or many of those workers will be replaced with automation.
-Some or many youngsters will not get a job because their input is less valuable than their output (too inexperienced).
-Some businesses will go bankruptm thus achieving the real minimum wage - ZERO!
There are more FORESEEABLE HARMFUL EFFECTS and they are all negative, but economic illiterates keep demanding more and more not understanding that they will get less and less.
Laws on top of laws on top of laws. Rewrite some of them of get rid of some of them? If government wasn't try to constantly destroy freedoms and private property and free thinking, 80% of all laws could be dust-binned. Actually, congress could follow those defunct laws to the dustbin.
“We don’t have the muscle memory of how to write laws specific enough ... it’s muscle memory that has to be recreated here. And it’s possible but it’s going to be hard,” Mr. McHenry said." AWWWWW. Yep, Neil. Poor Congress -- they're actually going to have to do their jobs.
The last thing we need is more ‘administrative power’, it’s turned our country into anything but a Constitutional Representative Republic. Congress has been outsourcing its duties and obligations fat roo long and left the people without real representation. Congressional Staffing should be closely monitored as well.

Unfortunately true!
Unfortunately, in totalitarian states, such as the 8 states in the Northeast, the 'legislative delegation' could not care less about the citizens.
" You may get ignored or worse, but if we don't try,..." Precisely. They need constant pressure to move them out of their comfort zones.
...and if they really are insulated dufuses, our contacts may serve to inform them of things they didn't know before.

Does your local newspaper have a "Letters to the Editor" option that doesn't censor anything non-narrative? Have you resorted to the one and only thing that works in all circumstances (prayer)?

Hello,
I'm an actor and filmmaker that has produced over 50 films and have starred in Netflix productions.
As a writer I've published 20 books that range from poetry to philosophy to narrative fiction.
Creating is such a profound and humbling process and I am incredibly grateful to be able to live this beautiful life and to experience all of its wonders. I wish you the same.
I'd love for the opportunity to audition or even for my company, LowWiseZah Studios, to be a part of the creative process if applicable.
With love and kindness,
Michael Angel Loayza Jr.
