It's much easier to regulate millions of nobodies with no power than it is to regulate a single wealthy donor.

- osigurdson 3y agoEven with a car, you aren’t necessarily regulating millions of individuals - primarily just manufacturers. I suppose there is the odd case where “old joe” removed his catalytic converter and is polluting more than others but that is probably rare. I don’t get your point on centralization however - more efficient but less robust (just like in software).
- osigurdson 3y agoCorrection - I do get your point
- Consultant32452 3y agoFor necessarily centralized industries like car manufacturing the regulations are written to protect the wealthy incumbents competition more than to protect consumers.
