Slowly but surely people are starting the realize that the vast majority of the federal government’s regulatory machinery is illegal/unconstitutional.
The ATF is one of the worst examples, but the NLRB here is also wrong.
I understand this will come with a reflexive downvote from many who don’t like the outcome, but this has been warned about for decades: Administrative law isn’t. The executive has no right to act as the police, legislative, and judiciary at the same time.
This is true even if it gives you the outcomes you personally want.

- EgregiousCube 3y agoI don't agree or disagree with the parent comment, but what do you mean by manipulation here?
- newZWhoDis 3y ago1) post unpopular (sincere) opinion: get downvoted/flagged 2) post unpopular (sincere) opinion, with a disclaimer that you expect to get downvoted: Get accused of being manipulative 3) wrap said unpopular opinion in flowery emotional language “I’m not an X by any means, but I think Y” still get downvoted and flagged 4) pretend/lie: post what the hive mind wants and get upvotes The system encourages you to lie, in fact it rewards you for betraying your convictions and just posting what you think others want to hear. Your post is accusing me (subtly) of posting in bad faith, when in fact bad faith posting is what would make my karma go up.
