Well "ridiculously patronizing" is a way to see laws. People can always look after themselves.
Another way to look at laws is that they protect the public from the predatory forces that we can't seem to just outlaw outright. Because PACs get in the way of legislation for the public good.
I'm sure there's some other way to look at it but I've already found at least one I agree with.
- cactus2093 6y agoI’m not arguing all laws are patronizing. Some things have potential harms that are hidden, I think fda and food safety regulations are good ideas. Some things require specific knowledge to do safely, like driving a car. But regulating something where the sole requirement to access it is to just have more money, is ridiculous. If trading options is so dangerous, requiring a license might make sense. Requiring that you just be rich to do it makes no sense.
