When someone opens with “there oughta, be a law”… they’re almost always shouldn’t be.

No. You’re not going to regulate out human behavior or scammers or MBA’s looking for every avenue to maximize profit.

Make a better system.

This is not about regulating away illegal behaviour. Criminals will exist. It is about making [what we have reasons to consider] de facto scammy behaviour to be de jure illegal behaviour. Then it becomes a matter of enforcement.

Make a better system.
