I say we have laws against retroactive laws. The same laws that protect you from being thrown in jail for getting an abortion or something under Roe v Wade are the same laws that protect these states and/or corporations (I don’t know how their agreement works).
If the government wants to make a law, they can make it penalize actions that happen after the law takes effect, but they cannot make it penalize actions that happened before the law takes effect. Allowing ex post facto laws is tyrannical, and nobody should stand for it, even if allowing it in one case would benefit you in the moment. That’s short sighted, and should not be tolerated in a free society.
Well those laws can fuck themselves when it comes to killing the planet. Killing rich people was against the law during the French Revolution in 1789, but that didn’t stop them, and it shouldn’t stop us now. They have been aware of the issues for decades, hidden the fact, and now we should follow the law? Nah, I’m all for the French invention they used hundreds of years ago.
You can be for or against whatever you want, but that doesn’t change the law. And if we decide to change the law, be very careful because it’ll likely get used against you.
