I agree.

The thing I hate about this whole situation is that it's going to be decided solely on which side has more lobbying power[1], since just as you said, it's something in between.

The silver lining here is that lobbyists can only afford to care about finite number of things at a time - so even if they get some laws their way, other factions can push laws mitigating the damage somewhat.

I currently believe (weakly) that the outcome of more and better lobbying isn't laws getting directly worse for society, but rather the regulatory system grinding to a halt under increasing number of laws that exist to cancel out parts of other laws...
