Reply #29: Why have states with different laws?

[TxRider]

Well a landlocked state may want different oil drilling laws than one with a 1000 mile coast.

One that derives more income from coastal tourism might want different laws than one which doesn't in regards to offshore wind farms.

A state on the great lakes might want different water regulations than a desert state like Nevada.

A small state that is mostly urban, might want different highway laws than a state with thousands of miles of open country.

Move on to agriculture, ranching, aviation, taxes, education, health care, etc. etc. Different states have different economies, different cultures, different needs, different strengths, different weaknesses.

Having 50 models means we get to see results of 50 experiments and pick and choose what works best from watching the others.

I could go on for pages and pages...

Go over to Europe and tell every state in the euro union they should all adopt identical laws, identical systems, identical taxes between them all, I doubt you'll get very far.
