Partial list of false extreme problems government should not be attempting to “solve”:
- Gender pay gaps
- Income inequality (rather than consumption inequality which can be a real problem that government might play a helpful role in reducing)
- Regional discord, violence, and tensions abroad (this is false in that it is never so straightforward as right vs. wrong, good vs. evil)
- OPP - other people’s patriotism or lack thereof
- Overpopulation
- Student debt and higher-education financing
- Business lending in general and in crises like the COVID pandemic (SBA, Fed backstops of direct lending, et al.)
- Illegal immigration (crime risk) (economic affects)
- Tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sugar composition of food, gun ownership, use of currently illicit drugs, et al. as public health issues
- Food deserts
- Jobs lost to automation
P.S. This clip (and the entire movie) is an allegory for my view on this subject.
