Plenty of issues are legitimately complicated. Also, plenty of very simple issues are made complicated and therefore impossible to simply fix.
"Trans kids" is a great example of a "fix everything button" issue. Simply ban hormones and surgery for physically normal minors looking to troon out but allow hormones and surgery for rare medical cases such as precocious puberty, etc.
A well written and comprehensive national law to that effect would legitimately fix everything for that issue. But it will never happen because our government is dysfunctional.
And is there anyone who could create such a law as a singular action? It's only as easy as flipping a switch if a majority of politicians start working together in unison, which they literally NEVER do.
Describe to me ANY realistic way that such a law could be passed that doesn't involve pages and pages of negotiating tactics to bring in various interests groups, and keep them in line to get it done. Deals need to be negotiated, compromises made, and on and on and on forever.
Your rhetoric in this thread is simply making a case for dictatorship. Not sure if that was your goal, but that is what you are doing.
Ah yes. Benevolent dictator. The ideal form of government where an autocrat with absolute power just so happens to govern exactly the way you think is right. In case you're not aware this is also a mainstay of freshmen year political classes.
You're right. If something requires even moderate effort, then we should give up and not make an attempt.
Good call.
