What is Submit Relentlessly?
Submit Relentlessly is a project that takes the government’s own deregulation platforms and flips them on their head, using them to advocate for stronger public protections. It’s about challenging deregulation efforts and ensuring that regulations serve the public—especially in areas like healthcare, the environment, and economic equity.

Why deregulation?
Because they built a portal to cut public protections—and we’re using it to demand better ones. This project is a kind of legal aikido: taking the mechanism meant to dismantle regulation and flipping it into a tool for structural repair. Regulation isn’t the enemy—it’s where equity lives, where accountability hides, where the fine print decides everything. So yes, I read the CFR for fun. It’s the perfect marriage of two opposites: bureaucratic compliance and tactical dissent.

What counts as “plausible”?
"Plausible" means structurally or procedurally possible—even if politically difficult. The focus isn’t on whether a red-state legislature will pass it tomorrow, but whether it’s legally executable with existing mechanisms (e.g., agency authority, rulemaking, statutory reform, amendment).

What are the goals of Submit Relentlessly?
Our goal is to challenge harmful deregulation and use government platforms to restore regulations that protect public health, safety, and fairness. We aim to create a world where regulations work for the public, not for powerful corporate interests.

How is this different from repeal?
Repeal often implies scrapping a law entirely. Deregulation can mean removing a specific clause, tightening a loophole, redefining an exception, or revoking administrative rules that quietly drive bad outcomes. This project targets surgical edits, not blank slates.

What if I disagree with a proposal?
Great. That’s how things get better. This isn’t a purity test—it’s a working draft. Offer a counterproposal, ask a sharper question, or point out what needs clarifying. Just do it in good faith. (See also: the no-asshole rule.)

Who’s behind this project?
Submit Relentlessly was created in defense of the fact that regulation is a force for public good. With a focus on fairness, transparency, and accountability, our mission is to subvert harmful deregulatory trends and restore vital public protections.

Why the hell are you reading the CFR for fun?
Because I actually like regulations. They’re the quiet architecture of fairness—when they’re written right. The CFR is where the rules live: the ones that keep systems functional, safe, and accountable. It’s not just technical—it’s deeply human. Reading it is like finding the wiring diagram for how power operates.

Are you saying all regulation is bad?
Absolutely not. Regulation is often what protects people from being crushed by unaccountable systems. This project is about removing or reforming regulations that enable exploitation, entrench monopolies, or create structural inequity.

Can I submit my own reform idea?
Yes. Please do. There’s a template in the Toolkit. Bring a citation if you can. Bonus points for ideas that solve structural problems, not just symptoms. (See again—no asshole rule).

Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to see real change and push back against corporate-driven deregulation. Whether you’re an activist, a public servant, or just someone tired of vague outrage and inaction, this project provides the tools to demand better public protections.

What if something’s wrong? A typo? A citation that doesn’t land?
Tell me. I do genuinely enjoy reading the CFR, but I’m still human. If you’ve got a better framing, sharper citation, or cleaner justification—bring it.

Is this just performative?
No. This is a blueprint. It’s meant to be used—by policymakers, by activists, by pissed-off public servants, by smart people with better ideas. The goal is change that’s grounded, legible, and ready to implement. Not vibes. Not theater. Strategy.
