It is an attempt to erase our culture, way of life, and our honor. We need the means to ensure the preservation of society and protect our race. Southerners must stop apologizing for slavery and reject the idea that it was a necessary evil!

If we stop sending small children into coal mines the economy shall collapse!

why? the bureaucrats understand the domain and the context. have you seen the US Congress? this is just a way for the moneyed people and their lackies to gum up the works and make life worse for the majority while siphoning even more money to the moneyed.

You have it exactly opposite - it is only the moneyed and well-connected who can get the regulators to make rules that fit their needs, while the small business has no hope.

Wait until you hear about legislators.

At least the legislators are elected and answer directly to voters. You can dither about who donates but voters truly decide the outcome.

Bureaucrats are multiple layers removed, often serve for entire careers, and truly don’t give a shit because the only way they will get fired is if they assault someone. Nothing will happen to them so “keeping busy” is making ever more rules, whether they are needed or helpful (or not).

With the corresponding downside of being eminently and legally bribeable. A hundred grand to your PAC goes a long way.
