Good read. Although if I had a criticism, it would be that phrases like "the campaign is mostly just a pet project by a bunch of Twitter idiots who don’t know shit about shit" make it a little hard to share it with the people I try to build a credibility with.

Calling humanity "both the cause of and the solution to all of life’s problems" overstates humanity's importance in both directions. Some problems are beyond our power, and some aren't our fault.

As for the CPSC employee, Richard Trumka Jr. - the longer Biden does go without firing him, the more it looks like a trial balloon rather than a rogue element. I'm fairly sympathetic to right-wingers who believe that because, after all, the left spent the whole Trump term saying things like "when they show you who they really are, believe them" - no-one believes in innocent mistakes anymore, and every time is interpreted as a mask-off moment.

It is, of course, also a problem if regulators are making "innocent mistakes". We don't pay these people to be fools.
