Well that's just the impression i get, it's not like we can have actual data on the matter. But every discussion I've seen where economics have been brought up, anti-regulation, pro-business, "free market will fix everything", "all the problems come from the regulation and because it's not a true free market" opinions seem to be the majority. Regardless of the topic - be it environmental regulations, monetary policies, the amount of work required to open a restaurant, EU regulatory work against Bit Tech or other oligopolies, etc.
