I absolutely. understand thoose fares. and I think to a sertain exstent they are real.
Politicans all over the world tend to think/belive that they know better, its a kind of aroganse that comes with the job.
How ever I allso are of the belive that, laws are outdated all over the industrial world.
So there will come some changes, importante here is that people like you guys are activliy forming those laws, you have the knoledge, facts, sience and practical experience politicians will have to listen tou you.
Problem wery often is laws are passed do to feelings and not facts, and laws are more often harder to change when they are passed,but easy to adjust in the progres of their making.
Espescialy that is if your acting as a group with knoledge, instead of singel individuals.

Yes if enough people become knowledgeable on a subject and get together in numbers it can make a difference. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen as sometimes we suffer from outrage fatigue or have enough trouble just making a living let alone keep up with all the issues.
I have seen cases where the politicians got their way by pushing something they want over and over again until it passes. Case in point is the local farmers and the county wanted to make a river a straight ditch to move water out as far as possible. It keeps going to court, the farmers and county lose, and then the following year they try and push for it again. Eventually they may get their way.
