Haven't seen a post like this so I'll make one: Shoutout to the autistics that have special interests that people find creepy (for example horror , true crime things , knives but could also be anatomy etc because that might come off as creepy)

Double shoutout to autistics who enjoy talking about these things with no awareness that people find it creepy/get uncomfortable when hear it.

How to Understand an Autistic Person: Don't

Understanding autistics is like training a cat for taxes. We have poor social skills but excel in specific interests. We’re blunt, struggle with empathy. Accept us as unique, focused, sometimes hilarious, and socially awkward. And subscribe for more!

Understanding autistics is an ambitious goal for humanity. Let’s be honest, you might as well try to train a cat to do your taxes. We autistics are a unique breed. We have the social skills of a brick but can solve a Rubik’s cube before you even realize it has colors. It’s not that we don’t care about you; we just have better things to do, like diving into the fascinating world of door-handles…

Navigating Complexity: Understanding Irrational Economic Policies and Their Social Impacts

In the complex landscape of the economy, political decisions don’t always follow rational logic. Influenced by a myriad of factors, from political interests and inflexible ideologies to the pursuit of immediate gains and lack of transparency, economic policies can veer off course from social justice and sustainable development, resulting in adverse consequences for society.

Unraveling the Engines of Irrationality

Highlighting Special Interests

In the political environment, special interests often prevail, leading to decisions that benefit only a portion of the population at the expense of collective well-being. Distorted subsidies, unfair tax exemptions, and excessive protectionism are clear examples of this dynamic, where some gain at the expense of many.

Short-Term Vision and Its Limitations

The pursuit of immediate results can lead political leaders to adopt measures that generate short-term gains but may result in economic and social instability in the long run. Lack of strategic planning can compromise sustainable development, laying the groundwork for future crises.

Ideologies and Their Decisive Weight

Ideological convictions often play a predominant role in shaping economic policies, sometimes overriding evidence and objective analysis. This can lead to the rejection of viable alternatives and deepening inequalities, harming the common good in favor of specific agendas.

Transparency: A Beacon in the Darkness

The lack of transparency in decision-making processes creates an environment conducive to the adoption of irrational policies, undermining public trust and accountability. Without effective oversight, political leaders may act without considering the general interest, privileging specific groups.

Social Impacts: The Price of Irrationality

Irrational economic policies have a series of adverse impacts on society:

Economic Stagnation: The lack of policies oriented towards sustainable growth can result in economic stagnation, limiting job opportunities and development. Deepening Inequalities: Measures favoring certain groups can widen social disparities, undermining social cohesion and political stability. Distrust in Institutions: Lack of transparency and accountability can undermine trust in democratic institutions, weakening the foundations of governance. Vulnerability of the Most Vulnerable: The most marginalized segments of society are the most affected by unjust economic policies, widening social and economic divisions.

Toward a Fairer and Sustainable Future

To mitigate the negative effects of irrational economic policies and promote more inclusive development, it is necessary to:

Promote Transparency and Citizen Participation: Ensuring that decision-making processes are transparent and open to public scrutiny is essential for restoring trust in institutions. Adopt a Long-Term Vision: Prioritizing policies that take into account future impacts and the needs of future generations is essential to ensure sustainable development. Base Policies on Evidence: Making decisions based on data and solid analysis, rather than ideologies or special interests, is crucial to ensuring the effectiveness of adopted policies.

By recognizing and addressing the challenges posed by irrational economic policies, we can build a more promising future where social justice and sustainable development are central priorities.

American Democracy Hijacked By Special Interest Groups

If you want the perfect example of this take the case before the United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) right now. 7 doctors are seeking to have the medical abortion pill Mifepristone banned so that they do not have to face the risk of prescribing it themselves. They can and do, already, refuse to offer this solution to their patients. However, they want to ban this 20 year FDA approved safe medication for some 200 million American women because of their feelings on the matter and the risk that they may accidentally prescribe it themselves. This patently ludicrous review of a federal appeals court decision is what SCOTUS are busying themselves with whilst delaying dealing with Trump prior to the November 2024 presidential election. This is American democracy hijacked by special interest groups in the 21C. “At the center of the legal battle is the pill mifepristone, which is taken along with another drug to terminate an early pregnancy. Approved by the FDA in 2000, more than 5 million patients have taken mifepristone, according to the agency, and studies cited in court filings have shown it is safe and effective.” - ( https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-abortion-pill-arguments-mifepristone/)

SCOTUS Has Robbed The American People Of Their Power

For those who do not know, the Supreme Court is the final arbiter in the United States system of government. The fact that Trump stacked SCOTUS 6-3 with conservative activist justices during his term in the presidency has rendered democracy mute on an increasing amount of lawful government business. SCOTUS is sticking its conservative nose into more and more areas of American life. It has removed the federal right to women’s reproductive rights and delivered that power to the states in overturning Roe vs Wade via the Dobbs decision. This has galvanised American women across the nation and will likely defeat Trump’s 2024 bid for the presidency. However, the SCOTUS imbalance in favour of extreme conservatives means that democracy has been denuded and the American people have lost their ability to effect legislation and laws as determined by their will.

America At The Mercy Of Special Interests

America has been at the mercy of special interest groups for a long time. Congress has been largely bought by vested interests via the efforts of lobbyists and campaign re-election donations. Congress representatives who are backed by funds from the pro-Israel forces or the gun lobby are much more likely to win their contests. Similarly, the enormous financial reach of Big Tech and Big Pharma ensures that their favoured candidates prevail. America is all about money. Everything is for sale in the USA. This includes its political process, as millions and millions of dollars are spent on getting representatives and senators in the house. American members of Congress are free to invest on the stock market without much oversight. Corruption is a relative term in American public life without much bite.

Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com Women’s Reproductive Rights In America Even away from what many of us would call the corrupt influence of financial imperatives driving the political process the basic role of special interest groups gazumps the silent majority. Those that make a lot of noise in the American democratic system, those with a single issue story, do better than the rest of voters who are largely defused in their impetus. We can observe this in the current zeitgeist around women’s reproductive rights. This empowering and motivating issue has turned red seats blue in red states. The polarisation of America by extreme conservative MAGA forces is being undone on this issue alone in contests held in 2022 and since. The right wing think tanks at the heart of the Trump 2024 campaign want to take away women’s rights more generally and return America to some imaginary time back in the 19C. This will not happen, as women in America are rising up in support of their freedoms and will fight at the ballot box.

Photo by Andrew Neel on Pexels.com True Conservatives Cannot Back Trump America is and has been a largely conservative place, politically speaking. The Republican party has been an ideologically anti-socialist and anti-union movement for much of the 20C and beyond. Progressive causes have been homed under the Democratic party in the main. Now, under Trump the GOP MAGA forces are anarchic and rabidly anti-government. Many conservative Americans are confused as to where they should place their vote and trust in 2024. President Joe Biden is tough to demonise, as this basically decent politician is an old man and doing good things for the American economy. Polls indicate that most senior Americans will vote for Biden in 2024. The instability of Trump and his backers are concerning for true conservatives who don’t buy the false narratives peddled by the GOP in 2024.

Photo by Rosemary Ketchum on Pexels.com The SCOTUS Conspiracy To Derail Democracy American democracy hijacked by special interest groups continues and is ramping up under SCOTUS in 2024. Billionaires and big business want to roll back government regulation so that they can make more money unhindered by rules protecting the people. America has been a perpetual battle between the very wealthy and everyone else. Money talks in America, of course. The Gilded Age is celebrated by some as a time of great investment into the nation. However, this came at a cost and the Great Depression resulted in many Americans suffering. The GOP has never taken responsibility for this and their lies and denial established an MO which continues to this day. The Chevron deference and SCOTUS: “The high court announced Monday that it is taking up a case squarely aimed at killing off the nearly-four-decade-old precedent that has come to be known as Chevron deference: the principle that courts should defer to reasonable agency interpretations of ambiguous provisions in congressional statutes and judges should refrain from crafting their own reading of the laws.” - (https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/01/supreme-court-chevron-doctrine-climate-change-00094670) This SCOTUS wants to rule on every aspect of American life, despite having no expertise on these matters. It is a conservative activist conspiracy to disempower the elected government and its agencies from running the country. The American people are being disenfranchised from their constitutional rights. Extreme right wing power brokers know that they will not win elections with their unpopular policies, so they are retaining power by other means. Trump is a sideshow. The SCOTUS 6-3 imbalance must be redressed if democracy is to be returned to its natural state and the American people are to get their will back.
