TIL Stan Lee is Stan Lee's biggest fan.

Exactly. There are some atrocities worth staking your career on. This was probably not one of them.

Although it's a dumb law given the circumstances, this is hardly a human rights violation against OP. Just something that needs to be fixed in the system.

Also important to note the distinction between turning a blind eye and refusing to execute a direct order. I'm assuming this was the latter.

Follow-up to the follow-up, which character do you think gets just the right amount of credit?

Yeah, but a lot of laws are super complex and done this way, but once a proposal is created, it's opened up to public comment and revised based on public input. There's usually not this "take it or leave it" ultimatum. Even if the lawmakers are knowledgeable and well-intentioned, they can't anticipate all circumstance and perspectives. It is overly presumptuous to assume you can come up with a final refined product entirely behind closed doors.

EDIT: I get that this is being done at an international scale, but you can still invite comments on an international proposal, even if it's not through the typical process for each country.

Does everything really just come down to Ohio and maybe Florida ?
