1) Generally, do nothing and so cause no harm.
2) Specifically, subsidize a particular business, and so do harm that is beneficial to said business.
3) Regulate natural monopolies. (viz, there is only one shortest distance between two points, and so that is typically where the highway has to go.)
4) Regulate natural commons. (viz, prevent toxic waste dumping, radio wave jamming, etc.)
Only #2 is a serious vote getter.
