That exactly is the problem with most laws passed these days. The political caste is so disconnected from normal everyday life of normal people that they aren’t even impacted directly by them anymore, so even if they wanted to, they can’t make normal laws for normal people.
You can thank the European car industry for this. They’ve lobbied for this to become law.
