The world would be a much better place if humans weren’t so … human. We all fall short of perfection. Common sense is, sadly, not too common. And there’s one guy out there who always manages to screw things up when things start getting good.Call it Murphy’s law. Call it the great “reason we can’t have nice things.” Call it entropy. It feels like a whole lot of pain could be avoided if we all had just a little bit more sense.But what if there was one rule that we all agreed to follow to make everyone’s life better? What would this magical rule be?A Reddit user who goes by the name P4insplatter came to this realization and asked the AskReddit subforum, “What simple rule would fix the world if everyone actually followed it?” They received dozens of simple rules that if everyone got behind would make the world drastically better.It’s no shock that most of them felt like a variation of the Golden Rule. It’s funny that a lot of folks believe the world would seriously improve if we could just abide by a simple saying that we all learned in kindergarten.Also known as the “ethics of reciprocity,” the Golden Rule is so innate to humans that versions of it have been found in religions and cultures throughout the world.Here are 17 of the best responses to P4insplatter’s simple, but world-altering question.1.

CBS fact-checks Transportation Secretary over Joe Biden's EV mandate that nobody wants. CBS host Margaret Brennan called out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for defending Joe Biden’s electric vehicle mandate. Brennan showed a clip of former President Donald Trump recently slamming Biden’s EV mandate, saying, “We’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing a car that nobody wants!” Brennan added, “He’s not wrong on the purchasing.” CBS plays a clip for Pete Buttigieg of President Trump slamming Biden’s insane electric vehicle mandate: “We’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing a car that nobody wants!”MARGARET BRENNAN: “He’s not wrong.”BUTTIGIEG: “Oh, he’s wrong.”BRENNAN: “He’s not.” pic.twitter.com/kbnGbAmoS9— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) May 26, 2024 But Buttigieg insisted, “Oh, he’s wrong.” URGENT! Keep Alex Jones in the fight against the NWO! Please pray & contribute at DefendJones.com today! Brennan pushed back. “He’s not,” she said. “Of the 4 million vehicles purchase, 269,000 vehicles were sold in the U.S. market,” she noted. Buttigieg said that EV sales are increasing every year, but didn’t address why car manufacturers were slashing production of EVs over low demand in 2024. Brennan also laughed in Buttigieg’s face when he struggled to explain why only 7-8 charging stations have been built despite the Biden administration spending $7.5 billion in 2021 to build them.

US auto dealers representing every major auto brand also called on the Biden administration last year to roll back its federal regulations that will mandate two out of every three vehicles sold in the US in 2032 will be battery electric, because most consumers just aren’t interested. “We can take some solace in knowing that the voice of our customers broke through enough to convince the Biden Administration to moderate the mandate in the early years,” the letter states. “But sadly the regulation stubbornly hangs on to an EV mandate that is clearly disconnected from the realities of the marketplace and the voice of the customer.”
