It is what it is

Via Carpe Diem: Consider this a missive from the reality-based community.

"The free market is not an ideology or a creed or something we're supposed to take on faith, it's a measurement. It's a bathroom scale. I may hate what I see when I step on the bathroom scale, but I can't pass a law saying I weigh 160 pounds."

And against all logic and common sense, that's precisely what regulatory regimes and diversity brigades attempt to do. They are false prophets altering natural order and constraining the potential of mankind.
