Regulate it. Laws, consequences, etc.

  Laws appear to have fallen out of fashion. And a disturbing proportion of the loudest people like it. Then you have those who ought to know better but are attention-seeking, selfish assholes who somehow find it «interesting» or think they adhere to «principles». The latter category know who you are. You downvoted this comment.

    I recently provided guidance to state legislators, with that guidance making its way into law in regards of balcony solar. If you don’t think that making law works, I would encourage you to get involved somewhere that means something to you. It turns out that if you present as an honest, non-interested party, people will call you and ask you for your advice. I do admit that the ease of this is going to be a function of the people you are up against and the subject being regulated. My point of this comment is: default to action. “You can just do things.”

      The issue is not laws, or the making of them (although Congress hasn't exactly been overly productive). The issue is the executive branch not abiding by laws.

    > Laws appear to have fallen out of fashion. Laws are very much fashionable, but only for us. “Rules for thee but not for me” is what's in season right now.

      Importantly, seasons change.
