Most TFRs don't affect much of anything. You can fly through the stadium
TFRs when arriving or departing a field. You can fly through military TFRs
while IFR during terminal or approach operations. You can also fly through
these TFRs with a permit which you can usually get with just a phone call.
You can fly through the outer ring of Presidential TFRs with a discrete
transponder code and a flight plan.

You cannot fly through the inner ring of a Presidential TFR or through a
firefighting TFR, but you never could do that anyway. Mostly, the TFRs are
just a way of criminalizing American citizens who are going about their
rightful and legitimate business. The US government has for many decades
attempted to control the American public by making criminals of most
citizens, thus increasing their dependence on the mercy of the government.
