I’m confused; how does your preferred policy solve this problem?

I don't have a stated preferred policy here. I'm questioning if the post I replied to really preferred this policy.

Policy is a constant battle of unintended consequences. I clearly understand that nothing isn't immune from those consequences, and so I'm constantly adjusting my preferred policy trying to find the least bad compromise.
