What the Hell are you talking about?
When people get hurt or killed in car accidents, it costs the insurance company's money. Do you think they WANT high costs? Effective safety gear lowers insurance costs. It also protects the lives and well-being of customers. It does raise the price of cars, so there's a balance needed, and a market-based regulation is both better able to strike a balance that works for all parties AND would allow at least the possibility of cheaper, non-compliant vehicles to be sold, perhaps with higher insurance premiums.
My impressions:
This is an ad FOR Trump, but not BY Trump. He likely had nothing to do with it (there's certainly no "I'm Donald Trump and I approved this message"). But it comes across as sincere and well-intentioned.
This ad is entirely AI generated.
It's just a touch too Trump-worshiping for my taste; there's a hint of the style of Hero Worship one sees in classic Communist and Fascist/Nazi propaganda ads. Not enough to seriously bother me, but, still, a hint.
Despite that, I like the video a lot; the message is very on-point and it evokes the heart of the issue (Good versus Evil, however one wants to phrase it) with well-considered images. Well designed and edited.
Also, a damned impressive tech demo if it IS entirely generated by text-to-video AI.
Kudos to the apparent authors, Look and Live.
Not a lawyer.
Insurance companies want products to be safe so they don't have to pay out so much in claims; they've been instrumental in getting safety features added to cars, for example.
When monopoly and coercion (i.e., government) are removed from regulation, corruption is minimized. "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
This woman apparently thinks she (or someone) can get the FDA to stop behaving like it has been behaving SINCE INCEPTION.
Not likely.
EVERY federal agency protects those with the Big Bucks to buy protection, and those people aren't you and me. This began in the 1800s with the very FIRST federal regulatory agency (for the railroads).
If you want an industry to be properly regulated -- i.e., in a manner that benefits the public, the industry itself, the insurance companies (without which you really can't DO business), and every other player, and WITHOUT raising prices into the stratosphere, you need to use competitive market regulation, as with (also from the 1800s) Underwriter Labs (now just named UL) or the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association. UL is no longer a non-profit; the NFPA still is.
[They] do that with many things GOOD, beautiful, healthy or real. In the material world, [they] use rainbows and butterflies as symbols; in our own feelings [they] use our compassion against us, as [they] do our sense of justice, our desires for love and group-belonging.
Yes, we need to take those things back. Such things belong to mankind and are simply part of the natural world including the feelings, which are as much a part of us as our arms and eyes and toes. That is why those without souls want to appropriate the meaning of real-world items and to corrupt and misdirect our feelings: to put the sick, twisted, anti-life paradigm they hold into our own minds.

If you're the one who downvoted this, I'd appreciate hearing what it is about my comment that made you click that down arrow. No judgement here, just want to learn.

Best red-pill on economic issues and Federal corruption I've seen in a good while. This guy is clearly either clueless or totally unwilling to speak the truth, and either way: he's a TOP ECONOMIC ADVISOR to the President.
Wow.
Could be. No info was given about his death other than "suddenly", so it could be a number of things. I believe that statistically, the huge uptick in sudden, unexpected deaths of people well below "elderly" status since the jabs began rolling out makes a COVID "vaccine" the most likely cause, but again: we don't have the details here.
In any case, the on-going drip-drip-drip of sudden deaths of apparently healthy people, of turbo cancers, of neurological symptoms, and of other formerly rare and often serious symptoms since 2020 is undeniable (by anyone honest, at least). VAERS data and other "official" data sources from around the world, along with an increasing numbers of published studies and other information make that clear.
Interesting economic detail:
On January 1, 1831, The Liberator, the country’s first abolitionist newspaper and, later, a defender of women’s suffrage, appeared in Massachusetts. At that time, Georgia slavers offered a reward of $5,000 (more than $160,000 in 2024 value) for the capture of its founder, William Lloyd Garrison.
In fact, $5,000 in 1831 would have been worth well over half a million dollars in today's money.
American $10 half-ounce gold coins date to at least 1795 and prior to 1834 actually contained a bit MORE than a half-ounce of gold:
The weight of circulating, standard gold, $10 eagles was set at 270 grains (17 g), half eagles at 135 grains (8.7 g), quarter eagles at 67.5 grains (4.37 g). This resulted in the $10 eagle containing 0.5156 troy ounces (16.04 g) of pure gold.
Even taking a value of just $20/oz would mean that $5,000 = 250 oz of gold, and at today's gold price (hovering around $2300 as I write this), 250 oz x $2300/oz = $575,000.
The Fed has stolen more from us than almost anyone realizes.
Of course businesses have to pass along higher costs (or take a hit to profits), but businesses compete ON PRICE in a FREE market. De-regulating (relatively speaking) the telephone companies back in the 70s led to a huge drop in prices, as the Baby Bells had to compete with one another. Long distance calls used to be a luxury.
When government gets involved in "regulation", you typically see prices skyrocket, as with the FDA and Big Pharma.
