It seems really weird that Congress isn’t making a law about this. Instead, we’re asking courts to contort old laws to apply to something which is pretty different from the things they were originally intended for. Or just asking the executive to make law by diktat. Maybe letting the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world will work out. Maybe not.

This issue is too complicated for Congress to handle? Too bad. Offloading it to the president or a judge doesn’t solve that problem.

The world is becoming more and more complicated and we need smart people who can figure out how things work, not a retirement community.
