In USA, "good" laws are a tiny minority of the total. How could it be otherwise? We have thousands of scoundrels working all day long every day writing more of them.

Whataboutism aside, most definitely, hence the opposition to such "good" laws in the first place. The perspective of taking the good-with-the-bad status quo compared to the alternatives is rooted in rational precedence.
The way it looks, many laws are being torn apart in the US, including environmental protection, etc.
It's gonna be every man for himself, except that some of those "men" are corporations which will flatten the rest of you like cockroaches. Unless you're some CxO or something?

Absurd hysteria, and then some.
The US economy is more regulated today than it was in the 1980s and 1990s, when it comes to both the environment and corporations in general. Even the banks are all under the direct control and supervision of the Federal Reserve now.
Somehow it must have been a miracle people survived the 1980s and 1990s. It was back in those mad max days, when anarchy ruled the day, and corporations just massacred people at will.
Back in reality, very little has changed in the last two years, other than the hysteria has increased dramatically. Even the vaunted regulatory cuts have been miniscule in scale, less than 0.1% of Federal regulations have been cut; mostly all that has occured is a slow down in regulatory accumulation. Trump has been flat-out lying about regulatory reductions.
Environmental regulations - and a narrow subset at that, almost entirely focused on energy - have been rolled back about four years so far, to Obama's second term.
I'm skeptical a President + party controlled House and Senate have ever done less than what Trump & Co. have done in the last two years. The sole major change under this administration has been the corporate tax cut.
I mean, you're in the US, so you should definitely know what that's like.
