Mandates
Letter to the Editor:
In response to the many mandates proposed by our government, I’d like to respond: I’m not a fan. Taking freedom away has two affects. First, it makes a decision for ALL. Not that this is always inherently a bad thing, but it can be for some and not for others. Second, there’s never a follow-up as to how this mandate helped or hindered, in a factual, unbiased, accountable method. Surely after the government ceases freedom from its citizens via a mandate, there must be an overall substantial benefit to ALL that can be measured. But where’s the follow-up? Am I as a citizen in a better place because this freedom has been rescinded? Please demonstrate how, in a REAL, FACTUAL, UNBIASED manner, this restriction has improved my life. Am I being overly dramatic?
Let’s look at one such mandate, the EV car mandate. The freedom to choose a product will be restricted to what the government says we can purchase. It will cost ALL of us more to purchase an EV. And don’t forget another government mandate, that ALL new housing must have a charging station on site. This raises the cost for ALL builders and purchasers. How much will this mandate cost ALL of us citizens? These costs are not covered in the mandate bills. What about the trucking industry, how are they supposed to deliver the goods that we consume? How far can a loaded electric 18-wheeler go before charging, not that there are even any EV fleets currently. What is the availability of charging an EV cross-country? I know we will pay for that eventually. What about the underserved, what are they supposed to do exactly, ride the bus, walk, hitch a ride from a more affluent co-worker? Again, this is all not covered in the mandate proposal. How will this ENORMOUS loss of freedom, in the form of the lack of mobility, affect ALL of us? We don’t know, it’s not explained. I fear not so good.
Thoughtless mandates that incur loss of freedoms are a rumble under the ocean that finishes with a TSUNAMI! Masks, vaccinations, firing of skilled workers that don’t comply have led to workers shortages of doctors and nurses, pilots, military, police, fire and teachers. Freedom is precious! Are we as Americans smarter than any other country’s population? Hell no! Then why is the United States of America the only country that has raised the standard of living WORLDWIDE in less than 200 years?
There’s only ONE REASON…. FREEDOM! Vote freedom takers out of office.
