This isn't accurate. Agencies will just need to work with Congress to help them write laws which make sense according to how the agency would like something to regulated.




except agencies need to be able to work on timelines faster than once a decade


And Congress too.

The less intelligent voters on the far right arent your problem. They are your distraction.

Your problem is the VASTLY more informed elites, who spend their time funding teams and campaigns. Teams who get into the details, who plan the messaging, do the lobbying, and provide the scripts that are repeated to those who listen.

It’s the guy who is a middle manager at a campaign, the lawyers figuring out which courts need to be influenced, the wording of which law to be switched, the people who map out each agency org chart and read the by laws to figure out how to dismantle the agency.

It’s those doctors, those lawyers, those analysts, those consultants and experts who are doing the work.


At the end of the day the crooked politicians trying to dismantle protections for every day Americans in favor of the elite win primaries due to the far right drones, and win narrow elections in a lot of cases due to the same drones.


Kind of stunning that people throw around “redneck” here on HN so casually with 0 condemnation, but also simultaneously quite predictable.


I live in a rural area and I talk to trump voters plenty. Country folk who aren't old or rich don't give a whit if you call them rednecks, in fact for many the term is a mark of pride.


It’s also what the more intelligent voters on the far right do get. Put the power in the hands of the wealthy, where they want it.


It’s lobbyist who will fill this gap


Lobbyists will fill the gap, and 70+ year old judges will rule on the intricacies of nuclear regulation by harkening back to 15th century English law.


It's so funny when people from common law countries pretend like they have a functioning legal system


> funny when people from common law countries pretend like they have a functioning legal system

As in the oldest continuously-operating legal systems?


Too snarky.

Common law works very well in practice. Law is a problem that is impossible to solve optimally. Civil law has plenty of weak points - like every complex system.


Can’t wait for an American Chernobyl disaster in a civil society that looks like handmaids tale.


We're still doing the handmaid's tale thing?



Multiple states are currently legally mandating teaching the Bible in schools, so... Yeah?


Blessed be the fruit.


Needing to go to someone else to exercise power is literally not having power.


> Agencies will just need to work with Congress to help them write laws

This is already exactly how it works.

One reason why legislating takes so long is because there is an enormous amount of collaboration between legislators and agencies to get it as right as they can.


Congress literally could not work this fast even if they were inclined to.


So agencies will not have any power to actually regulate.
