> Which also includes building bureaucracy moats- that load smaller competitors with unpaid for paperwork and prevent them from operating

Exactly. one of the defining moments for my political views was hearing the CEO of a big pub company explaining that this was why they could keep expanding as smaller competitors gave up because of the administrative burden.

Both governments and big business live complex rules.

I'm not sure which CEO you specifically heard, but this[only] is a great example of what you're talking about. Llloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs, making statements to this effect in 2015.

Thanks, that is a brilliant quote.

The CEO I heard was Ted Tuppen, who ran Enterprise Inns, a big British pub company.

Shows what a wide range of things this is true for!
