It's disingenuous to say that monopolies are an outcome of lack of regulation, when they are also an outcome of over regulation

- fastball 7y agoNot really. The point is that in a regulatory vacuum, monopolies will exist. Therefore "less regulation" is not always better. That is the only point. That being said, this is not an example of regulatory capture.
- tathougies 7y agoCan you cite an example of a popular right wing idea that promotes either a regulatory vacuum or regulatory capture?
- fastball 7y agoMany right-wing people I talk to express the wish for less regulation all the time.
- tathougies 7y agoSo you want more regulation made in an attempt to prevent regulatory loopholes from enabling private players to protect their market position using government regulation? Without any explanation, this position seems absolutely incoherent.
- fastball 7y agoUmm, no? I want there to be regulation in place to prevent monopolistic / anti-trust behavior. Many "right-wingers" I have talked to want to dismantle many of the regulations that have been put in place for expressly that purpose and actually do pretty well in that regard. I don't generally want "more regulation". I want the right regulation.
