Nothing new...In CA ya have to have to register and get a government, “Adventure Pass” to walk in the forest.
The more people who go to work for the Federal Gov (or state gov for that matter) the more we are going to be suffocated by regulations and laws of which we are unaware. The punishments are going to be more and more severe, the freedoms less and less.
If you don’t think the US is drowning in regulation, just remember that annual additions to the Federal Register and measured in pounds, not pages. The tree of liberty needs watering.
I know you haven’t been here very long. Just be careful complaining about excessive laws here.
A large amount of folks on FR seem to like *some* laws(the ones they personally like) and the jack booted thugs that enforce them, even if it means killing your dog, and possibly driving an armored vehicle through your home while doing it. Of course, they dislike “big government”, but they don’t mind when it’s the ‘big government’ they personally approve of.
People need to realize that they can’t have it both ways....
That’s my rant for the day. lol
/putting on flame proof suit and running away
You have to get a $6 day use pass to park in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona. The Dems don’t have a monopoly on overregulation.
I know I have posted this before on other threads, but I will do it again. I had a very low volume Etsy shop selling mostly baby bibs and burp cloths. I came across information, rather accidentally, that FedGov requires all clothing items to be permanently tagged with info such as manufacturer, country of origin, fabric content, tracking numbers, small batch generator numbers, etc etc etc etc. If it’s a clothing item for anyone under 12 years old it must be tested for lead and flammability, but if you apply for your small batch generator number you can use certs from the company you bought your supply from to cover this. I thought, well, I’m only making bibs and burp cloths, not clothing. Oh no, bibs are considered clothing. There are regulation after regulation after regulation for a simple baby bib that must be followed. If the government decided to go after you for not following these rules, they could fine you $10,000 per item that you sold that does not follow their rules.
I closed my shop.
There are just and unjust laws. How to determine which is which. read this: https://kinginstitute.stanford.edu/king-papers/documents/letter-birmingham-jail one of the many ideas that made MLK awsome.
then if you disobey you might need to suffer the consequences. If juries and defendants understood their role in eliminating unjust laws most of this crap goes away.
