But are those regulations enforced is the wuestion. Without oversight and enforcement, the regulation doesn’t exist.

What does a lawn need herbicides for anyway? You’re not trying to macimize yield ...

Another question is what does that label say. Is it “Don’t spray in eyes” or something like “Don’t use more than X per square foot” or even something cool like “Only for agricultural use where actual crops are grown”

It has all sorts of specific instructions about how much to spread, how soon before/after rain, how close to waterways & drains, sweep up any that gets on sidewalks, etc. Tons of words. Also in Spanish.

There’s more than one definition of regulation.

One being “the act of controlling or supervising”. If you define regulation as the act of making rules? Then yeah there’s not much to talk about.

But if we’re talking about controlling, throttling, or supervising, we aren’t seeing much of that.

Having some words written somewhere is hardly regulating anything. Regulation requires control.
