If your point is going to be valid (that sometimes regulations are legitimate protections) you must come with facts. Specifically:
1. What are the protections that the regulations give?
2. Are the actually successful? At uber and lyft's scale, we should be able to see how not having these regulations fail the consumer. Are there more accidents? No seatbelts? Longer drives? Overcharging? Kidnappings/rapes/murders (this is not said in jest, I believe it is sometimes listed as a reason for needing regulation)?
