I think that's actually going to moderate the bust, by giving the big companies the moat they need.

It performs the same function as regulation, replacing "the scale to navigate and manipulate the regulatory environment successfully" with "the scale to navigate and manipulate the political environment".

It's essentially grassroots regulation instead of federal regulation.

(I don't think it will stop the bust, but moderate it, allowing more companies to survive.)
