The problem is the area's public transit system is too shitty for how hostile Seattle is to cars. As soon as you try using it to go in or out (a few exceptions) it quickly becomes a multi-transfer, hours-long ordeal.

The ones that always get me are where it's like "[thing] is mindbogglingly poisonous unless you freeze it for two weeks, boil it for 11 days, burry it underground, let it ferment for six months, pickle it, and then light it on fire... then it's delightful!"

Pretty easy to tack $200k+ on to the base vehicle price (even without going Veblen) if your paying someone else.
And then the depreciation curve makes a brand new S-Class look like a sound investment.

Most of the talks I've been having with regulated entities has been on what their options are for avoiding it at least until the "there is no way this can put you in violation" situation is a *lot* more clear.

You're giving the general public far too much credit.
From my experience, the conspiracy versions (there are a bunch of them) are far and away the more commonly believed.

Ivermectin for livestock is already available OTC. Which does make the human pills requiring a prescription a bit silly; but, still, if you wanted ivermectin without a prescription, there was nothing stopping you... (I mean, other than common sense)

Right, they want 4-ton SUVs that get 6mpg and are guaranteed to kill the pedestrian they run over due to the enormous front blindspot!
Fuel efficiency requirements didn't kill station wagons. American consumers being dumbshits killed station wagons.
