Laws and regulations change constantly based on complaints. Then there is Women’s Suffarge, Civil Rights Acts, Voting Rights Act, Clean Water Act, etc. You don’t hear most complaints because they do it in private correspondence to legislators and regulators. It is when those routes do not effect change that you hear public complaints.

> Civil Rights Acts, Voting Rights Act

These changed in spite of complaints as a reaction to fears that cities might burn down.

I'm not sure about the Clean Water act, but I suppose Women's Suffrage is a fair point.
