How Unnecessary “Forced Mice Clicking” and Censorship Will Limit Future Economic Growth

“The incredibly damaging problem with “The Wyomining 3” is that it takes three times the resources and labor to get one task done no matter how grandiose or small. And when leveraged across the state as a whole, you realize people are wasting three times the amount of time, money, and labor, that could (in theory) go to boost economic production (and the wealth of Wyomingians) by three fold. Admittedly, this was not some key to economic success. All people all across the world need to ask the same question for clarification. All people all across the world are going to goof up from time to time. But what I was seeing was arguably the main difference between a first and second world economy/country – dumb people making dumb mistakes repeatedly, thus taking twice/thrice the amount of time and economic resources to get the same amount of economic production at every level of human interaction.”

  1. When I was a young subaltern in the Army some thirty plus years ago, my fellow platoon commanders and I had a saying: “There’s the right way (holds up the right hand), the wrong way (holds up the left hand) and then there’s the Army way .” (mash both hands together) or my favourite–“Why do a task that can be done humping two miles when you can do it humping ten?” I guess one can substitute the word “Army” for any institution.

  2. I’m not sure Wyomians are going to take this essay in the constructive manner in which it is intended.

  3. Out of 19.2 million Canadians employed in February before the WuFu lockdown, 3.9 million “worked” in the public sector (as defined by Statistics Canada), or a little over 20% of the 19.2 million. The public sector includes truly critical front line workers, but many, many slackers and malcontents, not to mention “jobs” that should not exist (think of the hundreds and hundreds that write and rewrite job descriptions). Given the systemic inefficiency in the public sector, a reasonable estimate is that it takes at least 10 public sector workers to do what could be done by seven in the private sector.
    Under the guidance of the Dear Leader, the public sector has been growing at a rate of over twice that of the private sector for the last several years. And despite the financial crisis we have entered, it is unlikely to shrink. In fact, if you also count the newly engaged welfare slackers now on the public payroll (those are the ones who could be working and choose not to), the overall productivity of the Canadian economy will rapidly decline, resulting in a poorer country. But, hey, the Beloved Leader says not to worry so let’s not.

  4. You touched on censorship of the Karens. Yesterday, Rogan and Tim Pool talked at length about the censorship on youtube and twitter. (towards the beginning of the long podcast). Rogan believes it’s the censorship of an army of young people. Same outcome.

  5. Cappy’s insights here are excellent, as usual.
    Unfortunately, they also are too long and in need of editing (as usual) to benefit a generation with the attention span of gnats.

  6. Social media is “big tech” in the same way that KFC is big tech. Yes, there is technology involved, a lot of it, but that isn’t the actual core of what they do.

    Social media is not in the hands of technicians (they’re just the janitorial staff), it is in the hands of psychologists.
    Riffing on a previous posting today, I began coding computer games because I was a mathematics and physics student. Eventually the field moved to being run by specialist “video (not computer) game developers,” people who maybe could have been mathematicians or physicists, or at least engineers, but got distracted by the toys.

    Now online game coders are the janitorial staff and the game developers, the people who actually design the games, are psychologists.

    This is not Big Tech(tm), this is big Mind Control.

  7. Reading $hit like this, going-on with full bureaucratic support and connivance in many more places than Wyoming, makes me wonder – who is John Galt?

  8. I have a website offering online training for concealed handgun licenses.
    I use Google ads on and off, and had done so for about three years at the time.
    The phone rang. Caller ID said “Google”, so I actually answered rather than just sending it to the alligator pit I keep handy for spam phone callers.

    Some Karen asked me if I owned the website. When I said yes, she explained that I had to make some changes, or they would not run my ads (the ones they had been running for a couple of years). Specifically, she didn’t like the fact that one of the photos had a gun in it.

    I patiently explained that this site was all about guns. Specifically handgun safety training.
    No. Still against our community guidelines. I asked her to point out where these were published, and which one. She pointed out their “catch all” one at the end, which basically said “anything we decide”.

    I spent some time thinking about it, and designed a logo to replace the image, loaded it and sent her an email. She responded, no. There is another photo with a knife (on a “why you might want a license” page, of an evil looking mugger guy with a knife.

    At that point I started looking for alternative ways to do ads. There really are none (unless you are into spamming people), Google has killed them all off.

    Eventually, I re-worked the site to remove many images, and those that remain are abstract, or so “touchy-feely” that no-one could ever complain.

    Overall, probably wasted several weeks trying to make Karen happy. I don’t think she ever was, I think she just didn’t like the idea of concealed handgun licenses, but I managed to take away all her excuses.

  9. I just had the conversation about societal incompetence with my 52 year old Daughter. See it every day. And no way to fix it.
