- notch656a 4y agoA great deal, possibly even most, people can be corrupted if placed in a position that enables it. Any regulatory mechanism implemented has to bear in mind that the underlying problem is that _people_ are corrupt. Putting people in a position where there is no check (such as voting, or customers choosing whether to buy) on that corruption makes everything more dangerous. My position all along has been that businesses are greedy, oft corrupt, enterprise. So it shouldn't surprise anyone that individuals in the revolving door between industry and regulator are still corruptible people -- whether they are in the role of regulator or business director. These revolving door individuals didn't suddenly become corrupt when entering business or become pure when entering regulatory agencies.
