The regulatory state has a massive and problematic interaction with the private sector through what is termed 'guidance.' Just like the fiction in the military about certain black marks not being 'punishments' (and thus not invoking due process) even though they get reported in performance evaluations and promotion boards, the regulatory agencies rely on all sorts of communications to instruct and direct, but skirt the law. As for 'violations' of the 'terms of service' - law enforcement should not be involved in what should be at most a contract violation, theoretically addressed in civil court.
Hello Mr. Kling! I love this blog; I've been following you since like 2008 in various places. I think you do a fantastic job maintaining your ability to consider everyone's perspective with a level head, despite having some strong viewpoints of your own. It's very uncommon and very appreciated. Just wanted to let you know that I'm out here reading and enjoying your content. Thanks again!
Freidman's critique is certainly valid for "solutions," but less so for iterative, incremental change. Who know what open borders would look like, but letting in a million more educated, motivated immigrants is worth a try.

It is more accurate to say that not only are then MIA, they are actively part of the problem.
That was exactly my thought as well.
