Die GOP hat bei den letzten Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus mehr Stimmen erhalten (50 Millionen gegenüber 44 Millionen), aber die allgemein erwartete "rote Welle" ist ausgeblieben. Nach zwei Jahren der Inkompetenz, der Korruption und der Lasterhaftigkeit der Demokraten - mit einer Inflation auf einem 40-Jahres-Hoch, keinem Wirtschaftswachstum, zügelloser Kriminalität, Anarchie an den Grenzen, Angriffen auf die bürgerlichen Freiheiten, Verboten fossiler Brennstoffe und öffentlich subventionierter Genitalverstümmelung - haben die Republikaner nur eine knappe Mehrheit der Sitze im Repräsentantenhaus gewonnen und einen Sitz im Senat verloren. Und warum? Schlechte Qualität der GOP-Kandidaten? Nein. Wahlbetrug? Nicht genug. Abtreibungsproblem? Möglicherweise. Aber die einfachste Erklärung ist vielleicht die beste: Eine Mehrheit der amerikanischen Wähler bevorzugt eine irrationale, antikapitalistische Politik.

ESG ist ein sich schnell ausbreitender politischer Erreger, der von Umweltschützern und anderen Antikapitalisten eingesetzt wird, um jeden Aspekt des Lebens zu infizieren, insbesondere aber die Unternehmensführung und die politische Steuerung. Die ESG priorisieren "ökologische, soziale und Governance"-Ziele, um positive Formen der Governance zu verwässern und zu verunreinigen, insbesondere das Shareholder-Modell in der Wirtschaft und den rechtsbasierten Konstitutionalismus in der Politik. Zu den notwendigen Gegenmitteln gegen den ESG-Virus gehören Rationalität, Gerechtigkeit, das Profitmotiv und der Kapitalismus.

Zu den Kumpanen, die von der Politik begünstigt werden, gehören nicht nur die "Bonzen" der Unternehmen, sondern auch Hochschulen und Studenten. Präsident Biden hat kürzlich einen einseitigen Erlass von Studentenschulden (bis zu 20.000 Dollar pro Kreditnehmer) verfügt, der etwa 500-750 Milliarden Dollar kosten würde. Abgesehen von der Frage, ob Biden, der Kongress oder eine Behörde befugt ist, Schulden zu erlassen, ist diese Politik gerecht oder ungerecht? Praktisch oder unpraktisch? Was ist mit denjenigen, die nicht studiert haben, die keinen Kredit aufgenommen haben oder die ihre Schulden abgetragen haben? Warum ist die Verschuldung der Studenten so hoch? Warum ist Washington überhaupt involviert? Was sagt Bidens Politik über die Staatsverschuldung aus? Wenn Washington einseitig auf Geld verzichten kann, das ihm geschuldet wird, warum kann es das nicht auch für Geld tun, das es anderen schuldet?
