Woah, I don't know about that. I like clean air regulations, clean water, and regulations against children working.

Without regulation we would have a real hellscape.

It turns out you can't trust "the market" to do the right thing - ever.

Do you disagree with something I said in my comment? I cannot see that you do.

Also, frankly, I don't appreciate the sass. It isn't necessary.

I was responding to "Regulation always degenerates into a weapon of the corrupt."

That's an easy target to sass, because it's such an easy target. Did I reply to wrong comment or something? Maybe it's because I'm on mobile. Apologies if I replied to the wrong person.
