OK, thanks for the clarification. The way I see it, and it's just my opinion, the act of DeSantis enacting any kind of law encroaching on anyone's or any business' freedom for any reason is an act of government interference.
But it's sometimes necessary to do so. Take your pick - does regulation such as we're discussing infringe on a person or on a business? Doesn't matter. Government intervention is government intervention and it's one of the things that unites conservatives and liberals even though conservatives love to hate such intervention.
To your point, it's hard to assess if DeSantis' position is "more" or "less" intervention than something else, but it's an interesting question to ponder. The point is it's intervention. Period. And as someone else said here, the conservative guiding principle should be keep DeSantis out of it and let the free market decide.
Your mileage, of course, may vary. (I wonder if the young'uns even know what that means.)
