      its solved by getting money out of politics, along with removing regulations that don’t make sense and keeping the ones that do

        Folks here think regulation, and immediately put it to food and Ai or other white collar applications.

        Working in plastic manufacturing for ten years, and chemical manufacturing for a few more, the term deregulatuon terrifies me. Regulations keep employees safe, and aims to keep the products we make safe.

        I think of environmental impacts first and foremost, which is the kind of deregulation I assumed was meant with this regimes obsession with bringing back coal, oil, and mining/deforestation if our national parks.

        Getting money out of politics is implemented with regulation. We only have one environment, and they want to deregulate environmental safety/preservation.

          …removing regulations that don’t make sense and keeping the ones that do

          Having safety regulations for plastic manufacturing and protecting the environment makes sense, so those should exist.

        sure but regulatory capture and a controlled market are not really a counter argument to regulation so much as an argument for more regulation

        strict rules enforcing disclosure and other sunshine laws are key to exposing corruption like you are suggesting

        Wait, so you’re telling me that this politician who will definitely get a CEO position in that company does not want to make life better for me?
