>> All types of regulation are important and good, for the reason stated in first sentence
Come on. Absolutist positions like that are just wrong and bad for level headed discussion. Some regulation is good, and some is bad. We should be critical of government policy right? Hasn't history shown us that good intentions does not always lead to good results? We need our critics, just like developers need qa.
- TAForObvReasons 8y ago"All types of regulation" != "All regulations". But that nuance is hard to understand or appreciate when you start from the position that no regulation that affects your industry is good regulation.
- jumpman500 8y agoI'm sorry! I did misinterpret you then. My disdain for extreme political positions and my annoying desire to be a contrarian must have blinded me. I don't come from the point that all regulation is bad (I swear I'm not a crazy person). I'd rather say that regulation is complicated, hard to undo and we rarely know all the effects or costs it has. More complicated systems aren't always bad though; sometimes they're much more fair and efficient.
