Blocking one model is not regulation. The comments on this so far are wild.
- sanderjd 4mo ago... it isn't? What word would you use for a government policy that controls the behavior of a private company? The word for that kind of policy is "regulation".
- InsideOutSanta 4mo agoThere is no policy.
- sanderjd 4mo agoEverything the government does is a policy. This is a policy. This is regulation. It's just a very bad policy, a very bad way to do regulation.
- InsideOutSanta 4mo agoI'm not sure whether there is a widely accepted definition of "policy" that matches yours, but if there is, it's not a helpful one. In general, a policy is a deliberate system of rules or guidelines.
- sanderjd 4mo agoYes there is, and it is a helpful one. It is good and helpful to have words that just mean a simple thing. The things an administration does are the policy of that administration. That policy been be a deliberate system, or it can be haphazard and arbitrary. It is still their policy either way.
- InsideOutSanta 4mo agoWhat I was trying to tell you is that your definition of "policy" is wrong.
- sanderjd 4mo agoI understand that's what you were saying, but it isn't, you're incorrect.
