> "...The other side of this coin is that, right now, government regulation that overreaches to the point of suppressing an individual’s ability to earn a living wage is the political equivalent of playing with fire. > "...Perhaps this is why many of the startups listed above (and their investors) have begun to form relationships with local and national politicians, have actively participated in panels nationwide with public officials and commissioners, have hired former politicians and policy analysts to help them anticipate these collisions and actively participate in the lawmaking itself to keep the interests of these startups in mind. This slo-mo, corrupt, `due process' of 'panels', 'lobby-ing up', 'relationships with local and national politicians' is antithetical to the intense focus and already too many hats to wear, required of a start-up. I'll bet its the '...political equivalent of playing with fire' side of the coin.
