"the recent college grad from a major city that never in their life saw corn that wasn't in a can."
Come now, that isn't true. Lots of them have seen corn in a freezer bag....heh.
But IMO regulations frequently exist so that regulators have something to do with their time. And of course many enjoy the power game. I have had close contact with USEPA and FLDEP, in my career as a Environmental Lab Tech Director, and did not come away favorably impressed.
Hearing tales about needing a $600,000 environmental and archeological study in order to run some new water lines to a park restroom make my point. This was in an old CCC campground that has been in use for almost 80 years. Seems like any problems would have been noticed by this point. But those who live by the rule book lack all common sense. Which despite Einstein's opinion makes the world work.
