The scandal of the Secret Service’s ineptitude (or worse) is a sign of a creeping administrative state that is unelected and accountable. It’s been said lately that part of that problem is the hiring practices of the diversity crowd. I don’t want to go into depth on DEI. Plenty of other people have said enough.
I have a dream of a new liberalism that stresses a new citizenship, unity over diversity, and civilization-building over inward-looking self-destruction. Family, friendship, and commonalities over superficial physical features.
The New Values
– Education focused on how to think not what
– Production from the supply chain to the citizen that is secure and optimized for less waste
– Energy policy that sensibly leverages fossil fuels while being forward-looking with nuclear
– Technology that serves the individual and provides communitarian tools
– Agriculture as the bread basket to the world
– Wealth and opportunity for all
The meritocratic corporation can be an answer.
