Which seems good to me. California has been leading the way on this, passing laws ranging from requiring diversity quotas on corporate boards to its own privacy legislation. To me, it doesn't make sense to have very many laws that apply nationally because people lead such completely different lives depending on where they live in the country. e.g. a person living in San Francisco leads a wildly different life than someone in rural Montana, and passing laws that both people actually _want_ is difficult. The more granular and narrowly scoped laws are, the better, in my opinion.
