Predictable outcome from an over-reaching law :/ Definitely some good parts to it, but it went way beyond what it needed to.
And I'm tired of clicking cookie popups. I literally do not care.

That was the whole goal. Many of those cookie popups were not necessary, at least before the time where every website had extensive surveillance into what you were doing. You don’t need to put a popup for login cookies, for example. But websites loved doing it anyways because it would make their visitors annoyed and think that the cookie law was clearly stupid.
The fact is that the cookie rules apply to more or less any website in the EU. In fact websites do not even comply with the regulation 100% since you cannot use tracking cookies until you have consent - but almost all websites just comply with the information part of the regulation.
I mean, you're in the US, so you should definitely know what that's like.
Whataboutism aside, most definitely, hence the opposition to such "good" laws in the first place. The perspective of taking the good-with-the-bad status quo compared to the alternatives is rooted in rational precedence.
It's gonna be every man for himself, except that some of those "men" are corporations which will flatten the rest of you like cockroaches. Unless you're some CxO or something?

Absurd hysteria, and then some.
The US economy is more regulated today than it was in the 1980s and 1990s, when it comes to both the environment and corporations in general. Even the banks are all under the direct control and supervision of the Federal Reserve now.
Somehow it must have been a miracle people survived the 1980s and 1990s. It was back in those mad max days, when anarchy ruled the day, and corporations just massacred people at will.
Back in reality, very little has changed in the last two years, other than the hysteria has increased dramatically. Even the vaunted regulatory cuts have been miniscule in scale, less than 0.1% of Federal regulations have been cut; mostly all that has occured is a slow down in regulatory accumulation. Trump has been flat-out lying about regulatory reductions.
Environmental regulations - and a narrow subset at that, almost entirely focused on energy - have been rolled back about four years so far, to Obama's second term.
I'm skeptical a President + party controlled House and Senate have ever done less than what Trump & Co. have done in the last two years. The sole major change under this administration has been the corporate tax cut.
Are you referring to immigration laws not being enforced in US? I think its much more complex that 'corrupt governments'.
