and then there's national defense: this operates almost entirely at the federal level.
beyond goods/services, we move into the realm of law: the federal government recognizes certain
limits and bounds along which citizens can interact with each other. TODO: limits on violence; voluntary exchange; certifications/regulations (OSHA); drugs/bodily-autonomy; marriage; explain unions and relate them back to OSHA.
limits and bounds along which citizens can interact with each other. various layers of government
announce limitations on violence, voluntary exchange/interactions, autonomy, and provide a framework
for handling violations (i.e. the judicial system). examples include sales tax and tariffs, marriage
requirements, occupational licensing, workplace safety (e.g. OSHA) and employment rights/nondescrimination, etc;
controlled substances (who's allowed to purchase a gun, or a drug, and under which circumstances),
abortion procedures, etc.
many of the large worker protection agencies are operated/enforced at the federal level (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission).
the rest are an interesting mix of state and federal: "serious" voluntary exchanges are enforced by agencies like the DEA,
but lately federal enforcement has been more hands-off for states which declare contradictory law in this area
(i.e. cannibas legalization).
marriage is almost entirely a state-level affair (with the federal government recognizing state-level licenses and each state voluntarily recognizing the other's marriage licenses)
-- except for recent attempts to define it more clearly at the federal level (Defense of Marriage Act of 1996 to restrict federal recognition of marriages, later overturned
by court rulings, such that all _states_ are now required to recognize same-sex marriage).
TODO: occupational licensing; workplace safety/right/nondescrimination; unions.
TODO: controlled substances
TODO: abortion
TODO: prison/jail (state v.s. federal). Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
