    Remember when Republicans were angry that a oil company couldn’t build a giant oil pipeline and said, “He’s taking away jobs!” Totally ignoring that the pipeline would actually destroy jobs for truckers and everyone around that?

    No point to the story I just wanted to share that.

    I don’t have a comment on the law, but the logic in the headline is just stupid.

    You can make a law requiring the lawns to have grass neatly arranged and you will create millions of jobs of people going through lawns with a fine comb and billions in investment to optimize and automate it.

    “Creating” jobs and investment via regulation isn’t a positive in and of itself. In fact, it can be detrimental like the aforementioned example.
