Ah, so you pose it as selecting the lesser of two evils, regulation constricted choice, or capitalism fuelled artificial choice? Option A burns political capital to enforce, option B externalises the costs to consumers. I think the real sol

How will you handle all of the "its not fair" complaints that claim competitors were tested under better conditions? And also, how will you ensure that certain manufacturers aren't actually given better conditions?

They don't have a million sales people -_-, 11.8k employees total is a better estimate [1], dropping to 10.7k soon. Maybe fumes was not the right word. The things they offer as "deals" are fumes. I just loaded the Toronto sec

Both Uber and Airbnb exist and are raking in cash (or at least funding). Whatever they did to solve your original #2 problem is the answer.
