Free trade is a fabulous thing. The Internet is a fabulous thing. The latter makes the former even easier - which is a fabulous thing. Unless you have an old school brick-and-mortar business model - and insist on not changing as the world does. For most stubborn businesses - that spells doom. If you’re an industry titan and can afford to pony up to politicians - you look to get the government to protect you from Reality. It’s called Crony Socialism (it’s not Crony Capitalism - because it has nothing to do with capitalism). And with this particular federal government - with a $4 trillion-a-year budget, countless huge regulatory hammers poised over every nook and cranny of the economy and politicians looking to deal - very bad things can happen. It’s usually Democrats - the Huge Government Party - who use the Leviathan as a government-money-and-regulation fundraising weapon. For instance - remember the “green” “energy” (which isn’t green and provides nearly no energy) portion of the abysmally failed 2009 “Stimulus?” 80% of DOE Green Energy Loans Went to Barack Obama Donors It did nothing for energy or the economy. But it did a lot for Obama Backers.
