The statists never stop finding new ways for the government to meddle in our lives and in this Freeman piece, Wendy McElroy informs us about another and very ominous federal program, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s “diversity mapping” project. Billions of dollars will be spent in a crusade against “geospatial imbalances” — which is to say, wherever the composition of the population doesn’t perfectly mirror group percentages in society. Lots of highly paid federal social engineers will love this, but the consequences for the rest of us will be damaging.
