2/ this is effectively a law of the universe. You just can't make up rules from 50,000 feet, in any domain Are truck drivers "laborers"? Well, that Amazon and UPS guy hustle and lift stuff... Well, what about long haul truckers? OK, so UPS is different, but UPS has pilots...

3/ You can try to "fix" these problems by getting more and more granular, but pretty soon you've got a system with 50,000 designations, and then that gets mocked for its own reasons ("why are dentists with 100 patients category 12-F, but those with 99 patients are 11-C ?")

4/ When the problem is that you're seeing like a state, the solution is rarely to use more monocles.

5/ Falling back on markets to decide things is a good idea, not because money matters more than lives, or because rich people are better than poor people, or whatever, but because it decentralizes decision making to the people who actually have the data to make decent decisions.

Like this case where the court completely ignored the scientific definition of fruit: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=nix+v+hedden+1893&t=h_&ia=web …

Or the European Union disregarding the whole fruit thing and saying that big-banana ltd is a monopoly in the banana market and not an actor in the fruit market because bananas are special..

Seems Indiana's laws exempting "non-fast food" from sales tax would be a good example of this. I believe it led to weird things that frozen burritos at a convenience store being tax free, unless they used our microwave to cook it in store.
