Do you view Pruitt or Zinke as having been fundamentally well-intentioned, working to build a more just & equitable society?
- logicchains 8y agoDo you understand the difference between "there are conservatives that X" and "all conservatives X"? Do you believe that "worst example I can think of from Y" is representative of "all of Y"? Saying conservatives are ill-intentioned because Pruitt is ill-intentioned makes as much sense as saying all communists are ill-intentioned because Mao was corrupt and killed millions of people.
- burfog 8y agoThem being "fundamentally well-intentioned, working to build a more just & equitable society" is a good explanation for why they wiped out lots of job-killing regulations that infringed on private property rights. This might not be your idea of how best to achieve things, but it is consistent with a well-intentioned view that destroying jobs and infringing on private property rights is unjust and inequitable.
- ip26 8y agoI understand people can earnestly believe all regulations are job-killing etc. However the personal enrichment & extreme secrecy made me question their motives.
