I don't want to throw away all regulations. If France has a good cheap internet and reasonable prices (compared to the US) and contracts terms for communications, it's thanks to heavy regulations. There are heavy regulations in consumer protections that I really miss in the US, where you never know what something will cost (taxes and tips are never on the sticker price), the contracts can be and routinely are leonine, and everybody is trying to rip you off all the time.
- te_chris 12y agoThe exclusion of taxes on prices in the US is so infuriating and backwards. Having to manually calculate every price when you're in a store is just a pointless waste of effort. If you have to pay the tax it's part of the price so just regulate that that is the sticker price.
