I really don't want a world in which governments get out of the way of food regulation, building codes, and other such things.
- mgraczyk 5y agoWell I didn't say they should always do nothing. They are just better at getting out of the way than solving problems in most cases. Sometimes the issue is that nobody else has the incentives or means to solve a problem (climate change, food safety) Reorganizing the economy around trucker job displacement is not something the government needs to be involved in.
- JaimeThompson 5y agoProviding worker retraining & job placement assistance isn't the government getting out of the way. They are humans and they will need assistance so we should provide it.
- chii 5y agoIt might sound bad, but most of those gov't regulations came about _after_ the disaster happened that triggered them.
