Yeah that’s the sad thing about it all. What often is the case is that these things start as something helpful but then end up growing infinitely and it’s almost impossible to go backwards and revert it. This is called the ratchet effect - it goes forward not backward.
We do have the ability to change some of it though and that starts as local as possible! Your city or town is your best bet, with your state being possible but nationally don’t waste too much time on that, that’s where lots of money gets spent to make sure those laws don’t change.
