Yesterday was clear, with a cool wind out of the west. When I just now got up, the temperature in the house was only 67F, even cooler than yesterday. The prediction is that the maximum today will be 68F, and there will be a slight warming trend, temps in the 70's for the next 9 days. We'd better enjoy it while we can!

Regulate is not a synonym for restrain or prevent. The purpose of regulation is to provide regularity and prdictability to the subject industry. So, in exchange for providing internal information to federal agencies, many companies are assured protection from competitors and, in the case of EPA, interference by disgruntled ciizens. The EPA, set up by Nixon, is an example of a "don't worry your pretty little head, little lady, we'll take care of everything." Elizabth Warren told us the CFPB was the first federal agency designed to serve/protect individual people. What does the FDA do? It protects the pharmaceutical monopolies, just like dealership requirements in Georgia would prohibit car manufacturers selling directly to the public. Gotta protect the commrcial middleman.
It mihgt be noted that in 2008, Obama beat Clinton mostly because Clinton's team did not understand proportional representation. And in 2016, Trump won because so many Republican primaries were winner-take-all or winner-take most.
