4.4 million people quit their jobs in September, or about 3% of the nation's workforce. That's up from 4.3 million in August and far above the pre-pandemic level of 3.6 million.

If people don't want the laws enforced, they should recognize that desire for what it is - a desire for fewer laws that restrict fewer behaviors. If a majority elects a legislature running on that platform, laws will be repealed. But as long as they exist, the police are charged with enforcing them, and the government must not make enforcement impossible by taking away the tools that allow them to do it."
