If this isn't just fake n' gay, it's pretty damn important: "The bid by the commercial fishermen,...is part of what has been termed the "war on the administrative state," an effort to weaken the federal agency bureaucracy that interprets laws, crafts federal rules and implements executive action."

The U.S. Supreme Court began hearing arguments on Wednesday in a dispute involving a government-run program to monitor for overfishing of herring off New England's coast that gives its conservative majority a chance to further limit the regulatory powers of federal agencies.
The companies have asked the court, with its 6-3 conservative majority, to rein in or overturn a precedent established in 1984 that calls for judges to defer to federal agency interpretation of U.S. laws deemed to be ambiguous, a doctrine called "Chevron deference."
Basically, in the United states, laws are made by an elected congress. One of the fundamental complaints made by more conservative/libertarian types is that laws are effectively made by unelected, shadowy government agencies modernly known as "the deep state". On paper, the deep state is part of the executive branch, but in practice it's it's own ecosphere and then you get the idea of them being the group that selects the president.
One of the major loopholes "the deep state" uses is the afore mentioned Chevron deference. The idea is that, if Congress hasn't made a law about something, a federal agency has every right to make and enforce their own "laws", as long as they are "reasonable". This is absurd bullshit and has been used to justify converting the US government into the opposite of what it was supposed to be.
You have to get into the pedantic bullshit of the US constitution being a "positive or negative document." The deep state would argue the constitution is a negative document, meaning it says what the government cannot do, but it means they can do anything else, which is almost limitless. A limited government type would say the constitution is a positive document, meaning it tells the government what it can do, but it can't do anything else. That actually limits the government severely, which I think most here would support.
So, if the Supreme Court does it's job and rules correctly on this case it sets up the dismantlement of the deep state. I know, I know...how dare I be a glimmer of hope when everything fucking sucks and we all know it.
I have made the conscious decision to look to a future that is actually better than the current day. I think we are at the very beginning stages of seeing a lot of events happen that will cause enough normies to pull their heads out of their asses that it might actually start to make a difference if you choose to take advantage of it.
Basically, as the general collapse starts to happen, it will cause some communities of people to pull triggers on things they wouldn't have done just 5 years ago. For instance, I could see more than 50 states all of a sudden. I could actually see N. California, S. Illinois, and W. New York become their own states. I could even see
new countries emerge in all of this.
I think you're about to see pockets of sanity start to emerge here and there that you can take advantage of if you choose too. I'm currently studying to start a career in a field heavily involved in the repair and rebuilding of industry. I am beginning to envision a future where I'm actually happy.
