Or lobby/advocate for establishment of new laws that might be needed now, which may not have been needed in the past. Humans are inventive and creative (and often greedy). Once we find a loophole or a point of advantage, we tend to exploit it. For better or worse, the US legal system is slow to change so it takes a long time of people exploiting the system before the legal framework catches up. This morning I was reading some outrage post in a local facebook group for my small town. Everyone is up in arms about a new apartment complex being built. Then someone chimes in on the thread asking where everyone was when the permits were approved (hint: no one complaining attended the meetings to voice their concerns). TLDR: get involved in local politics. Too many people assume someone else will do it (or other people will vote so I don't have to), and rarely is that the case.
