> Those abiding by Walmart’s rules are being asked to make up for a shortfall that is entirely the fault of suit-stealing rule breakers. Honest shoppers who don’t generally like to use invisible suits will be particularly furious — and who can blame them? If you didn't read the article, the abstract idea of the above quote is the increasing amount of legislation, rules, and regulations levied on society as a whole meant to curtail the actions of a few. Consider consumer drones: the recent FAA rulemaking utterly handicapped the utility of consumer drones. In my opinion, this is a drastic loss of rights which should have been reserved by the people, not the FAA. The FAA derives it's authority from congressional mandate to "manage the navigable airspace" and to that end, the FAA will fight court battles to ensure that every square inch of air space is considered navigable. This is representative of government power being handed to an organization and then expanded well beyond "reasonable scope." A reasonable scope would be to say "well, we cannot legislate that birds and hawks should be ticketed for flying in the navigable airspace, so maybe it's reasonable to condone that part of the airspace (where birds fly). Let's focus on where passenger aircraft fly." Instead, with no documented catastrophic accidents, your ability to fly a drone has been saddled with ridiculous legislation. |
