You could still sue people in court though, for hitting you with a car, selling you rubbish, and poisoning your water.

We still had medical cures discovered, roads were built, etc, nothing new.

I don't remember the outrageous out-of-control drug problem 100 years ago, which must have existed since the DEA didn't exist and we didn't spend any money trying to curb the 'problem'.

The upside of course, is that a smaller standing army is harder to deploy on ill-thought out 'conflicts' overseas.

A joke right?

You understand that the environmental regulation thing is a scam.

Big business with its greater lobbying power has the better shot at getting the acceptable pollution levels at a rate that works for them. Then by adhering to that standard they get near immunity from any harm they may cause because they complied with the law.

Of course the other part of the equation is in a non-regulated environment who do you sue to stop pollution? Which of 20 factories using benzene is the one that released the benzene that poisoned the well you drink out of? Which factory locally or on the other side of the country or which car or truck released the pollutant that caused your lung cancer.

Nice fantasy but not realistic.
