Jay Dee –
Green’s book is an excellent read and an indictment of today’s regulatory environment. At one time, the regulatory agencies had to show actual harm or actual benefits for their proposed actions. Now, someone publishes a report based on a computer model and the agencies treat this as reality with no verification that the model is valid.
The recent COVID response is a good example of this behavior. The model showed that “OH NOES! WE”RE ALL GOING TO DIE!” Somewhat after the fact, it was discovered that several estimates were wrong. Oops. Never mind!
This same behavior is endemic throughout our regulatory environment today. Climate Change is the poster child for this but the EPA & OSHA are equally guilty. The same crackpot modeling was used to sell the safety and efficacy of the COVID vaccine.
