So if there’s a feedlot set up next door to your house, the government shouldn’t proactively require them not to dump the pig slurry into your backyard? Sure, maybe you can sue, but they’re thousands of times richer than you, and as the suit goes through the courts, you’re still buried in pig shit.

You have property rights, your backyard is your property.
I can’t force a credit card company to do business with me. They only do it because they calculated it’s worth their while.
