That's how regulation works mostly. Even if the intentions are noble, this has happened so many times that politicians should know better.

  Come on. Intentions are never noble. All politicians have their respective owners. Be it officially through lobby groups or unofficially by local oligarchs without middle men.

    Too many, yes, but far from all. At least our politicians are less aligned to lobby groups than the companies behind those groups, be they small or Google-sized.

      Am I a career politician? But actually you might be right - just noticed Massie[0]. If he was to act like a typical politician he would let the food shortage strike and only then go solving it to gather extra points. Rand Paul also seems to have something like a conscience. Guess when such people would have any say on real matters though. Never. And with nation states still being the main actor, there is no such person in Brussels, unless we count the hell-raising clowns like Korwin-Mikke and Farage who raise hell for the sake of raising hell. 0. https://noqreport.com/2020/04/26/rep-thomas-massie-has-a-plan-to-prevent-the-coming-food-shortage/ https://noqreport.com/2020/04/26/rep-thomas-massie-has-a-pla...

  So because of past failures, people should never try to improve?
  • searchableguy 6y ago
    This is an absurd argument repeated so many times I don't know at which point you stop to keep falling for bs your politicians and legal systems come up with. We will improve next time. We will improve next time. We will improve next time. Why do you let someone exist after so many times the same? Change the institutions first rather than keep trying with failed engine. The structure. The elections. Power distribution. Changing chasey won't do when the engine and transmission is broken.
