The problem is (also) laws that will "just solve the problem right up". The premise that laws solve problems is false. A perhaps reasonable compromise would be to (1) not "solve the problem right up" until there is some solid evidence of both the problem and that the law would help it. In general that would require waiting for, indeed, evidence, before passing laws. Which would require not passing laws when the issue is still hot. And (2) making these laws temporary so that they might actually require evidence before becoming entrenched. Including preventing rubber-stamping a law into its next 10 years. Probably none of which makes sense anyway as long as "riders" exist. The current system is ridiculously corrupt and broken.
