Does it have to do with "is" being very different from "ought"?

No man, lets do the full Monty.

Lets have economic freedom, plenty of resource extraction, and private ownership of capital along with the cradle to grave social welfare.

I'll leave it to others to figure out why monoculture is somehow the magic ingredient.

+ You skipped a step. “OK, lets have a Nordic style social welfare system.” Fine. That's lots of economic freedom, monoculturalism, and resource (i.e. oil) extraction. [. . .]

“OK, lets have a Nordic style social welfare system.”
Fine. That's lots of economic freedom, monoculturalism, and resource (i.e. oil) extraction. It's also private ownership of capital.

No, I don't want any of that. I want command and control Socialism but let's call it Nordic style anyway.
“That’s Socialism which never works!”

In addition to admiralty law, there is also the common-law of public nuisances, that essentially authorize a thing injurious to the public good to be subject to an abatement lawsuit, which can include seizure of the nuisance. Nuisances could traditionally be houses of ill-repute, slaughterhouses, and various obstructions in road and waterways. I believe in West Virginia, prosecutors are arguing that certain distributors of opioids are public nuisances.

Nuisance principles have been the basis of public health and environment laws that impose civil penalties, and by characterizing them as civil proceedings, they avoid requirements of due process, juries or judges, requirements of fault, etc. So, I guess some of the issues are not just old, but they are broader than the war on drugs, and if this piece of yarn is pulled hard enough, a lot might fall out.

Though I don't expect a lot to fall out. I think that some of the most disproportionate cases will no longer happen and/or the government will document the basis for its actions better.

...all the moderates here will have no problem raising the taxes and creating the programs that Denmark has, right?

Part of the Denmark model for programs is they're mono-cultural. What the EU calls countries we'd call States so making a social welfare program which covers Italy, Denmark, Germany, and Poland is something they mostly don't do.

So the Denmark model suggests we should devolve social welfare programs to the states.

Another part of Denmark is having a very wide tax base, i.e. they have something called a "skatteloft" or "tax ceiling" where the sum of municipal and national tax percentages cannot exceed 52.05%. Note that our federal(37%)+state&local taxes(max of 22%) is already pretty close to that for the rich and over in some areas. If we're going to copy Denmark we should make the tax base much broader and drop the whole "tax the rich" thing. For capital income, there is a separate, lower maximum tax rate of 42%.

Lets say that the innovation gives the inventor 2.2 billion, 45 billion for others, and causes 60 billion in environmental damage that will take years/decades to repair. Would that be worth it?

Of course not. We should and would shut down the company in that case. There are Billionaires who inflict vast amounts of collateral damage in their creation of personal wealth, they're called drug kingpins and we're already actively trying to shut their empires down.

Note personal wealth and success really doesn't matter here. Whether it's a single billionaire drug kingpin or 1000 millionaire drug kingpins, it's still a serious problem for society.

So what is the claim here? Are you suggesting Windows/Amazon/whatever are inflicting tens of Trillions of dollars of damage on the economy?

When Editors hear the Word 'Culture'...

Todd VanDerWerff, a cultural critic and journalist, says (somewhat unsurprisingly) that we need cultural critics and journalists, a group of writers that have been let go from numerous media outlets over the past few years as all media coverage is gradually sucked into the Trump Singularity. — Rufus F.
