I've spent a career in places with very little rule of law or effective governance.
The only thing that can give you a sliver of hope is to physically be close to a community that is right-knit and competent homesteaders. This is African village rules. Force and money are all that matters. Life is cheap. Food is scarce and untrustworthy unless you farm it yourself. Cities are nightmares of abuse with pockets for the super-wealthy behind walls.
Real life examples like Lagos are hard to explain to Americans. Parable of the Sower gets close and is a book worth a read.
I was going to say armed insurrection, but on second thought that might be ethical under those circumstances.
Unethically probably the most gain could be in manufacturing fake medicine. Cheap inputs, expensive prices.
Ah, in fact, even better for repeat customers: Making real medicine and selling the hard stuff over the counter (assuming drug schedules are "regulation").
(homeopathy) n. a complementary therapy based on the theory that ‘like cures like’. It involves treating a condition with a tiny dose of a substance that in larger doses would normally cause or aggravate that condition.
No, I think they mean actual medicine my guy, based on science. If it’s “homeopathic” and it works, we just call it medicine.
Move to a red state. Put up an activity as harmful as possible to humans while keeping it legal and making sure to remember everyone at every moment that you are doing this because there are no regulations.
You can't convince a maga to stop voting trump with words, but you can force them if their only other option is dying for the lack of regulations.

I don't mean "do the thing", make it clear to them why the thing was banned. If you don't know, look into your history books.
