>I've stopped thinking of automobile repair as a single dial, where more automobile repair is bad or less automobile repair is bad. It entirely depends on what is being repaired and how. Some areas need more automobile repair, some areas need less. Some areas need altered automobile repairs. Some areas have just the right amount of automobile repair. Most automobile repairs can be improved, some more than others.
you didn't really say anything
- array_key_first 10mo agoWell you can't just replace a word with a different word and then act like things are the same. If you do choose to do that, you, at the very least, have to explain how 'automobile repair' and 'regulations' are analogous. Because in my mind, they are not. There are many, many people ideologically opposed to regulation. I've never met anyone ideologically opposed to auto repair, or even just opposed in general.
- fsckboy 10mo agoi could have chosen anything, you choose and do it. he didn't say anything at all. "i no longer consider these issues to be black and white [riffing on another comment], i now see it more nuanced, where some things need more of something and others need less of that thing. deep, no?"
- array_key_first 10mo agoWell he is saying something here, because as pointed out, many people approach this from an ideological place.

- rfrey 10mo agoYour midbrow dismissal only makes sense if there is nobody who denies that regulation is nuanced. In fact, the entire political landscape is set up around a "regulation is GOOD" vs "regulation is BAD" worldview.
