The Blob Can’t Hide Things In 1,000 Page OmniPork Bills Anymore

This will slow down the parasites
The most exciting thing I heard today was that AI was used to find all the nasty surprises secreted away in the 1,500 pages of US legislation that was being pumped through Congress in the days before Christmas. Legal aides must have spent all year stacking the deck with tricks to enrich the political class. No human could unpack the fine print overnight, but AI could. Then, free speech saved the day, the Capitol Pork was exposed when Elon Musk spread the word to his 208 million readers.
As Elon Musk says: I’m suspicious of laws that are longer than The Lord of the Rings.
No matter how corrupt you think Big-government is, it’s worse:
Posters on X exposed some of the hidden surprises which included a payrise for Congress, funding for Bill Gates mosquito games, bioweapons research, vaccine mandates and new rules to define National Emergencies like “climate change”.
How else to describe this other than rampant theft, hidden under a confected “rush” and loaded up with manipulative coercion to get it through?
As Glenn Reynolds points out: The cancer research bill was passed in March and cynically left to fester for months so that it could be used as a hostage against Republicans.
Seen on Twitter:
What is more outrageous, refusing to pass a 1,574 page monstrosity of a spending bill, or using kids with cancer as human shields by writing them into it? “We had to pass all the graft and corruption to help kids with cancer” – that was going to be their defense.
When Republicans reduced the bill to 115 pages, the Democrats who would have presumably passed all of it the day before, would not pass the short form without the grift and the graft.
The mega-long legislation affects all of us in the West. The longer the laws are the more it serves the uber rich who can afford the QCs (or KCs or gun lawyers), and the more it punishes the poor who can’t pay off any lawyer to find the loopholes that weren’t written into the rules for them anyway.
Australia voted against an emissions trading scheme in a landslide in 2013 but got one anyway two years later. The laws were snuck through in deceptive clauses just before Christmas 2015.
Now the talk all over US political circles is this radical idea of voting for one bill at a time…
It’s fantastic, and Trump isn’t even President officially for another 30 days.
UPDATE: The US House just passed the third revision which was 118 pages.
