Regarding my previous post and passage of Mississippi House Bill #1523 (see link for legal text of bill)...
Is this bill a solution. NO! Is there any possible solution. NO!
For as long there exist seemingly endless list of laws and policies, most of ill logic lacking sound principle, hence plagued of complexity and inconsistency, combined with polarization among polity and citizenry bent on forcefully imposing preferences on each other, within a majority-is-morality-convinced society endowed by unrestrained mob-rule democracy, an ethical as well practical end-all solution is IMPOSSIBLE while all attempts merely festering and exasperating further.
The political pendulum will swing again and again and again, as now and before, worsening the fate of individual life, liberty and property.

RESCISSION is the sole logical answer
Fundamentally and concisely, should government do __________? NO!
Per the complexities thus unavoidable inconsistencies of laws and policies, with more proposed by all presidential candidates supported by hosts of hopeful benefactors, RESCISSION is the sole logical answer to any possible question. Assuming of course as principally paramount, individual life, liberty and property and ethically necessary the consent of each person. else all other considerations are presumptuous therefore arbitrary.
Come let us Reason. Peace is always a Choice.

Tax Evasions, Tax Breaks, Tax Loopholes and Unanimous Consent
Tax Evasions...
Amoral activity arbitrarily legislated as illegal by government, propagandized as immoral per government's promulgation, media's perpetuation and people's propensity towards political benevolence.
Tax Breaks...
Amoral activity arbitrarily legislated as legal by government, propagandized as moral per government's promulgation, media's perpetuation and people's propensity towards political benevolence.
Tax Loopholes...
Amoral activity arbitrarily legislated as legal by government, once propagandized as moral per government's promulgation, media's perpetuation and people's propensity towards political benevolence, later propagandized as immoral per government's promulgation, media's perpetuation and people's propensity towards "more" political benevolence.
Of course, if a tax or law by unanimous consent, there are no ethical dilemmas per the absence of presumption. However, presumption immediately arises upon the dissent of one or more, thus the ethical dilemma that cannot be resolved otherwise.
Upon lack of consent, presumption is as inherent as darkness upon lack of light.

Quotes by Henry Hazlitt
Henry Hazlitt (economic journalist, 1894-1993)... However I would add the accolade "philosopher" per the tremendous work in his 1964 book The Foundations of Morality, outdone by his shorter but noteworthy effort Economics In One Lesson (both free as ebooks at www.Mises.org)...
“The 'private sector' of the economy is, in fact, the voluntary sector; and the 'public sector' is, in fact, the coercive sector.”
“When the government makes loans or subsidies to business, what it does is to tax successful private business in order to support unsuccessful private business.”
“The thing so great that “private capital could not have built it” has in fact been built by private capital—the capital that was expropriated in taxes”
“Inflation itself is a form of taxation. It is perhaps the worst possible form, which usually bears hardest on those least able to pay.”
“It is typical of government price (or minimum wage) fixing schemes that they escape one undesired consequence only by plunging into another and usually worse one.”
“Therefore, for every public job created by the bridge project a private job has been destroyed somewhere else.”
“Mere inflation-that is, the mere issuance of more money, with the consequence of higher wages and prices-may look like the creation of more demand. But in terms of the actual production and exchange of real things it is not.”
“There is a strange idea abroad, held by all monetary cranks, that credit is something a banker gives to a man. Credit, on the contrary, is something a man already has. He has it, perhaps, because he already has marketable assets of a greater cash value than the loan for which he is asking. Or he has it because his character and past record have earned it. He brings it into the bank with him. That is why the banker makes him the loan. The banker is not giving something for nothing.”
“The more war destroys, the more it impoverishes, the greater is the postwar need. Indubitably. But need is not demand. Effective economic demand requires not merely need but corresponding purchasing power.”
“When Alexander the Great visited the philosopher Diogenes and asked whether he could do anything for him, Diogenes is said to have replied: "Yes, stand a little less between me and the sun." It is what every citizen is entitled to ask of his government.”
“The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.”
...and lastly on a slightly different but brilliant note...
“A man with a scant vocabulary will almost certainly be a weak thinker. The richer and more copious one's vocabulary and the greater one's awareness of fine distinctions and subtle nuances of meaning, the more fertile and precise is likely to be one's thinking. Knowledge of things and knowledge of the words for them grow together. If you do not know the words, you can hardly know the thing.”

Quotes by Thomas Sowell
Thomas Sowell (economist/philosopher)...
"Since this is an era when many people are concerned about 'fairness' and 'social justice,' what is your 'fair share' of what someone else has worked for?"
"I have never understood why it is "greed" to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money (by taxation or otherwise)."
“The first lesson of economics is scarcity: There is never enough of anything to satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.”
“The problem isn't that Johnny can't read. The problem isn't even that Johnny can't think. The problem is that Johnny doesn't know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.”
“Socialism is a wonderful idea. It is only as a reality that it has been disastrous. Among people of every race, color, and creed, all around the world, socialism has led to hunger in countries that used to have surplus food to export.... Nevertheless, for many of those who deal primarily in ideas, socialism remains an attractive idea -- in fact, seductive. Its every failure is explained away as due to the inadequacies of particular leaders."
“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force."
“Bailing out people who made ill-advised mortgages makes no more sense that bailing out people who lost their life savings in Las Vegas casinos.”
“Competition does a much more effective job than government at protecting consumers.”
“Economics is a study of cause-and-effect relationships in an economy. It's purpose is to discern the consequences of various ways of allocating resources which have alternative uses. It has nothing to say about philosophy or values, anymore than it has to say about music or literature.”
“We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did.”
Note:
I recommend the numerous interviews and lectures of Mr Sowell found on YouTube and various online sources.

The current issue(s) of restroom access is trivial
The current issue(s) of restroom access is trivial compared to the greater or graver issue, where majority and morality are seen as one and the same by the left and right as well moderate.
To clarify...
As some are asserting themselves per their chosen gender, others are feeling imposed per their given gender. Setting legalities and polities aside, are not intimate matters ones of most concerned uniquely individual, thus each person reveals to or conceals from others those matters for an array of reasons disclosed and undisclosed. Are not these reasons of a personal nature, therefore do not necessitate revelation nor justification. Is not one's discomfort, however minute or subtle, enough to say "no" without explanation regarding other intimate matters. insomuch, enough to elicit others' respect.
To particularize...
Are not those asserting, do so to gain an additional option for managing these intimate matters according to their preferences. Consequently, are not those feeling imposed, do so by lost of their only option for managing these intimate matters according to their preferences.
To conclude broadly...
The greater or graver issue is the popular trend to impose so to assert, to take so to have, justifying even moralizing solely by sheer force of the many over the few. That is, politics have become alleys, and voters as gangs, reducing laws as forcefully acted (ie. legally enacted) upon covetousness, where majority and morality are seen as one and the same.

Unhappy With Donald Trump Or Hillary Clinton? Let Markets Fix The Problem, by John Tamny, Forbes Magazine
Frustrated with current politics as is, we are not without options as Mr Tamny of Forbes Magazine suggests. As implied by his piece, the dollar in our pockets is the loudest voice we have. For what the dollar represents is not superficial materialism as some would like to retort. Instead, the dollar represents our time spent to earn it, therefore an exact, quantified expression of personal preference, symbolic of one's choice (no matter the reason) to expend personal property in favor for something else.
