It is true that some regulation is meant to thwart competition and keep entrenched players in power. However it is pretty far to say "almost every regulation ever". Would you prefer to live in an age where anyone can sell a tincture on the sidewalk that claims to cure any ailment? Would you prefer to have the food you put in your mouth be a gamble on its quality? Would you prefer companies be able to dump their poisonous waste anywhere they want? We don't have to be on the side of 100% regulation is good but I hope we can see that a lot of regulation is actually making the world we live in liveable.
