The examples I cited are being degraded and hollowed out before our eyes. That should give us even more reason to attempt to safeguard them.

Maybe I'm naive for being a bit hopeful, but I'm no Fukuyama. I understand that the system is crumbling, and that the core of the system is irredeemable.

None of that changes the fact that regulations like the Clean Air Act are a good thing. Yes, it should have done more to regulate coal emissions. Yes, it was unilaterally dismantled by Trump. It is still a good thing; nihilism on this subject is counter productive; and that is really my entire thesis here.
