Government organizations like those, they were actually making laws? I was never aware of that (but I wasn't paying close attention to that issue.)

I'm glad that it's been corrected, but there's always going to exist the problem of "experts" calling the shots. Like Dr Fauci for example. He didn't make any laws, but leaders (like then Gov Cuomo) made executive order based on Fauci's "expert advice." (Like NY's vaccine mandate.)

The USSC is great but they can't help us with "trust the experts syndrome."
