I agree with the broader point -- there should be real legal and regulatory action, including things that many people find verboten like expropriation and nationalization, in the transportation, energy production, and food production sectors.

But I don't see the need to poo-poo this. Think of a complex multifaceted problem as a 2x2 square, where one axis is difficulty and the other axis is impact. I think it's very reasonable to defend a strategy that tackles high difficulty high impact problems + low difficulty problems regardless of impact, just because it creates a steady cadence of incremental wins, which are energizing.
