Wow! I want to say something cautious and skeptical in knee-jerk reaction, but I think maybe it’s just time to soak in the fact that, finally we have a man wise in the ways of Washington who is genuinely working to help the American people-- all of them. May God help him succeed and may He frustrate the machinations of those who hope he will fail.

Good morning, Kendrick. Short and to the point. This thinking complements the HCR letter today. I hope the forum doesn’t give to much critical space talking about those monopolizing business today and in my mind, stifling creativity outside their ranks. Pres Biden’s administration wants to jumpstart competition and cooperation, not corporation. How can we all accent that? I know that I try to foster it in public education. Starts with strong individualism working towards a common goal which I always termed cooperative competition rather than collectivism. I’ve been in many vibrant classrooms that are a bunch of deliriously happy kids working on same things in multiple ways. It’s a core value in healthy competition.

New Yorker out with an interview with Tim Wu, who has been working on the executive order. Of note, I was pleased to see this: “Wu and his colleagues are all too aware that this order, too, is likely to be challenged in the courts, where many judges have taken a restrictive view of the government’s power to promote economic competition. So, in drawing it up, they tried to address specific problem areas that are highly visible and subject to existing laws. “The whole approach of this executive order is to focus on areas where there are strong congressional authorities, often given during the New Deal or the nineteen-fifties and sixties, but which are not being fully used,” Wu explained.”
