"governments need to step in" was a pretty big leap to begin with
- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoNot really. In the US, we have many government agencies, like OSHA, and the NLRB, and others, like the SEC, etc., not to mention the AGs and other law-enforcement people. Business owners love to hate on them, but they are a big reason that we don't have poorhouses any more. I have found that there is absolutely no bottom to the depths that people will sink, if they can make money. This seems to be true of folks that graduated from Yale, or from Jail. The idea that any industry will "self-regulate," is a laughable and naive myth.

- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoSeriously. I have no idea what you are talking about.

- ChrisMarshallNY 5y agoWhy do you think I said it the way I did? Really, this is going nowhere. You seem to think I said something I didn't, and I can't change your mind. Have a nice day.
