I think what he is getting it is the different laws and regulations in some states compared to others. It has always been that way but more so in modern times. Some states have high state income taxes. Some have low ones. Some have none. Property taxes fall in much the same way. Wherever you go, get yourself schooled. Or stay where you are.
No doubt that there are different laws and regulations between States. Heck, there are different laws between Towns, Villages, Cities, Counties and Parishes of the same State. If you live in a neighborhood with an HOA, yours might be different than the one a block away.
No doubt (in my mind), that if you are an adult, you should be aware laws and regulations that pertain to you, within your own municipality and in any municipality/state you plan on traveling to. No different than traveling to another country.
Calling them "BS", was what I disagreed with. I mean you can think that they are BS, but that doesn't change them. If you don't want to abide by them because they are BS, in your view, then don't live/visit that place.
