Governments like everything and everyone in their own little stack and in the government’s self established status quo. When Paula Protester comes along with her LGBTQ++ agenda, governments don’t like that. Paula Protester represents instability to the status quo established by the ruling class. Governments don’t like instability. Governments like everyone sorted, coallated, and stapled, all in their respective stacks, so dissidents and social change advocates are viewed as adversaries and are not welcome.
If it’s genuuinely ‘for the chirren’ then it would seem to me that making parents be parents and take responsibility for their child’s actions would go a very long way. However, we make laws with the lowest common denominator in mind. I don’t want your children involved in adult activities online. However, just like any education program, the success is determined by parental involvement in their child’s daily lives, and it starts at home.
It’s a lot easier to make government responsible for the child’s developement, than actually requiring parents to be parents. I hear parents say ‘I’m not technologically inclined.’ Well, get there. The safety and well being of your child hangs in the balance. Take a class, read some of the millions of step by step tutorials that exist all over the internet. Ask some questions in forums. The possibilities are endless. Protecting your child is work, just like rasing them is work, and therein lies the issue.
This was my first foray into bringing an idea to fruition, patent it, and market it. I wasn’t looking to make a million dollars off the tool. If it happened, great, if not, no worries. It was a very simple tool to allow someone to easily put the spring coil back in your mower without cutting yourself to ribbons. If you’ve ever yanked the pull cord out of a chainsaw, mower, etc and tried to put it back in, you’ll understand. I wanted a product the average homeowner could purchase, have in their tool shed to use when needed. I found that the better marketing strategy was to market it to repair shops.
After reviewing production pricing, I ‘chose’ China quite begrudgingly. Like I mentioned, I really wanted this tool to be US made. I could have just decided to have it made in America, but I would have never recouped my initial investment and would have never made any profit. I at least wanted to break even. Despite Americans enthusiastically waiving the ‘America First’ flags during election years, when it gets down to brass tacks, they want cheap goods, and that usually means manufacturing outside of the US. The good ship ‘Made In The USA’ sailed in the 60s and it’s not coming back. It makes for good campaign fodder tho.
