Free markets currently doing a pretty awful job of it as we keep learning. Perhaps some government legislation would help.

- adventured 13y agoYou can't legislate away stupid behavior. There will always be an endless parade of poor choices. If it's not 'this,' it's 'that' and then the next 'thing.' There is no scenario under which a government entity can enforce, keep up with, or properly control such.
- markdown 13y agoThat's like arguing that there shouldn't be penalties for drink driving (called DUI in the US) because people will always make poor choices. There needs to be a strong deterrent.
- danenania 13y agoAll legislation would do is put a big layer of ineffective bureaucracy between developers and getting work done. Get the government involved and it won't be long before you need to fill out 15 forms and hire a lawyer to put your weekend project online. Is that the kind of internet you want?
- aestra 13y agoYeah, all those building codes do is put a big layer of ineffective bureaucracy between the people who architect and do construction and getting work done. Yeah, all those sanitation codes do is put a big layer of ineffective bureaucracy between the people prepare food and getting work done.
