The bigger issue is our complete unwillingness as a country to fix issues. We have zero interest in reforming old laws, combining them, deleting them, reducing the number of rules.
When you have a lot of rules, systems start behaving erratically as they represent overfit systems of equations. The solution is fewer, but better rules. (see the curve on the right, which has the most constraints, does the worst job at capturing the intended shape)
When instead of doing this, your incoming politicians only focus on what is easy to do, you wind up with breakage. For example if everyone had the same rules regarding whether they could strike, that would represent a simplification.
