Please don't post unsubstantive comments to HN, especially not flamebait. Turning a thread about astrophotography into a garden-variety political flamewar, as you do here and downthread, is vandalism on this site.

Meanwhile the conservative politicians keep talking incessantly about deregulation, but it seems like it only applies to specific regulations that are inconvenient to friends of their, instead of actually attacking the deep cultural problem American society has with bureaucratic overreach. For goodness sake, a lot of actual dictatorships will meddle less in your personal business than the United States.
The US has also a problem with private overreach as in rich property owners closing off huge areas of land completely. This is a huge problem in the west if you do any hiking. In Germany or Britain there usually is a path through but in the US they just close it off.
