New elements include DOGE’s feed from X, Musk’s social network, and a blank section for savings identified by the agency, promised to be updated “no later than” Valentine’s Day. At the top of the website’s regulations page, DOGE used data published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), a libertarian think tank that claims to fight “climate alarmism.”
The CEI’s “unconstitutionality index,” which it started in 2003, compares regulations or rules introduced by government agencies with laws enacted by Congress.
The CEI claims to fight “climate alarmism,” and has long worked to block climate-focused policies, successfully lobbying against the ratification of the international climate treaty the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 as well as the enactment of the 2009 Waxman-Markey bill, which aimed to place a cap on greenhouse gas emissions.
This tracks. Besides the fact that Musk is an ultracapitalist, technofacist, billionaire Nazi asshat, his special little boys he’s picked to do all the coding work are also cryptobros. Crypto and energy/climate responsibility are opposing ideologies, since it takes gobs of energy to run their cryptomining operations.
With the big push towards expanded fossil fuel production, coupled with right wing reactionarism, and you have this pervasive miasma that tries to pretend that reality doesn’t exist and is anathema to environmental stewardship.
And they’ll tell you they’re the definitely smartest ones in the room, and how they didn’t need degrees or studies to figure out everything that the big, dumb, mean scientists took years to figure out. /s
If we know where this “CEI” is headquartered and we know who their leadership is…
What a bunch of dickweeds
It’s funny, the US government has always been a group with ties with the oligarchs. It’s never been for the people.
