This is not how a democratic republic is supposed to work and it's very very dangerous. There are so many instances of insane laws being created that it's getting ridiculous and there is basically nothing that can be done about it, since the EPA, FDA, and the other agencies don't answer to congress or the people at all. They are run by only two types of people. Either full on government-type administrators who have NO IDEA of the ramifications on the businesses and lives of the people that they are affecting, or industry reps whose sole motivation is to protect the biggest corporations from small startups and competition.

What he said. There is an old saying, too many chiefs, not enough Indians. This applies here as too many regulations running can screw up the machine.
Here in California, many business's have left the state because of over regulation, the cost of business has become too big. What it takes to build anything here is outrageous. I'm hoping to build a house in Northern California, I know I need to find a piece of property that has a POS house on it, so I can use the permits that were used in building it to keep the cost down. Plus all the utilities will also be hooked up already.
They charge a shit load for registering your car, yet the roads are full of pot holes kinda thing.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
