The degree of regulatory capture now inside the system is extreme and obvious.
Yet people continue to clamor for greater government control over a wider range of affairs. I simply can't fathom why my fellow citizens can simultaneously complain about the corporatism that government displays and hand the government the means to achieve even more of the same.
on this side of the Atlantic
I assume that when you say this, you're talking about my side of the Atlantic. Is that right?
- bad_user 16y agoAre you talking about net neutrality?
- CWuestefeld 16y agoNet neutrality is one aspect, but I hadn't been thinking about that specifically. One could also cite, in recent history, regulations governing lightbulbs and toilets. Seriously, I challenge you to cite any business that one could safely enter, without any thought to the way government forces the companies in that field to do business.
- eru 16y agoAnd what's your side of the Atlantic?
