> Why would I address your absurd “point” that it’s good to have laws that lock-in entrenched competitors and stifle competition and innovation from new startups? I just assumed people would read and instantly dismiss such an absurd notion, as I did. I guess I saw no “point” in it. You're being dishonest. My point was NOT that it's good to have laws that lock-in entrenched players. It was that there are bigger things to consider than each one's business model, and that just because some people took advantage of something in the past isn't a reason not to correct something, and that when things change some businesses die others are born new, and it's always been like that. It's called capitalism, works quite well. But I was saying: you're being dishonest, wittingly misrepresenting my point, and so I have no further interest here. Good luck.
