Making it “Easier”

The best way to force something onto people who don’t want it is to force what they do want off the market.

Examples of this include the forced retirement of the best automotive refrigerant ever developed – Freon – which cools faster and deeper than the replacements that were forced onto the market by forcing Freon off the market – in the name of the “ozone hole” but in actuality because of expiring patents on Freon that meant it would be much cheaper to make it and so cheaper to buy it than the “ozone-friendly” replacements forced onto the market.

Another example is gasoline – which has been largely forced off the market in favor of adulterated gasoline. What most Americans are forced to pump into their tanks is actually 10 percent ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and only 90 percent gasoline.

Not because people don’t want it but rather because they won’t be able to buy it. Because of new laws proliferating  forbidding the selling of it.

As in Petaluma, California – where the city council just voted to prohibit new gas stations from being built and also that existing gas stations may not install new pumps. “The goal here is to move away from fossil fuels and to make it as easy as possible to do that,” says one of the legislation’s main backers, D’Lynda Fischer.

She means her goal; the goal of those forcing their views upon the people of Petaluma. It will be made “easier” for them to not buy gas, in order to make it harder for them to not drive cars that burn gasoline.

See how that works?

It has to work that way, too – because the non-psychopathic way of free exchange determining what succeeds and fails makes it harder to get people to give up what works for them in favor of what “works” for the political psychopaths who regard their way as the only way and intend to make it “easier” for you to see it their way.

Another one of these political psychopaths is named Matt Krogh, who mouthpieces for something styled Stand.earth – an “environmental” lobby.  He said an interesting thing about the edict issued by Petaluma’s political psychopaths: “The problem with allowing new gas stations is we don’t really need them and they’re putting existing gas stations out of business.”

We don’t really need them?

Then why are people (part of “we” but not counted) willing to invest their money in building them  . . . if not forbidden to by political psychopaths who always confabulate themselves and their demands with our freely expressed preferences?
