Federal absurd regulations are commie-scandalous while lobby absurd regulation are just fine ?

It's always the same. People don't see, don't control, when they try, resistance is so high they will cave before change occurs.

Laissez fair would generally say all regulations are bad. Regulations that help monopolies are one of the main reasons free market advocates are againt regulations. All regulations start with "good intentions".

Comcast and phone companies are great examples of monopolies that are protected by the State, not failures of free market advocates.

You're right and that part of the point. State or Market is not the factor here. This old opposition is a false dichotomy / semantic slip. Control/Opacity are more important.
