Sure, and if I would swap bus for a Ferrari I would have no money. Nobody disputes that it is fair or not, as a customer I care about service price and quality. And those companies deliver both.

Your ferrari analogy is just reduction to absurdity.

This is not about fairness it's about rule of law. You either accept that regulations and taxes exist for a reason and they therefore carry an upfront cost for anyone doing business. Or you accept that everything should be deregulated to avoid non-competitive business from bypassing those that are forking regulatory costs.

Regulate for everyone or regulate for no one but you can't have it both ways.
