So, this week, a couple more articles on microplastics.  Now, here’s the thing – the articles talk about the harm that these materials might cause, but they also claim little is known about them.  Yet, something must be done!  Now, in the short term that breaks down into, “I am scaring you so you will give me more money to keep studying this problem.”  But that is when the issues really get serious. One, after pouring millions into researching a potential problem, agencies would look foolish if there was no problem, so there is gonna be a problem, whether there is actually a problem or not.  Two, the problem will then get completely lost in a haze and maze of regulation that empowers the agency, but does little to actually deal with the problem.  Or worse, it may do nothing about the actual problem other than burden the world so that the agency can “track” the problem.  That’s bureaucratic logic.
The post Bureaucratic Logic and Normal Logic appeared first on The Hugh Hewitt Show.
