>Some of us don’t mind government regulation as much as your parents told you not to like it

I wasn't told to hate government regulations. 30 years of horrible, ineffective regulation taught me to hate these poorly thought out regulatoins. I grew up under No Child Left Behind. I saw the TSA form before my very eyes. I'm right now seeing ICE roam free, regulations be damned.

I don't hate the idea of regulation. I don't trust the people who are trying to regulate.

US seems the only western nation with high trust issue with its own government.

Aussie, Canada, much of the Europe have no issue.

From the outside it does look like the US is especially bad at it.

Australia has had a pretty good track record with writing/implementing regulations.
