Most regulations exist because somebody tried to or DID get away with something, so we decided to do something about it. So anytime I hear someone say they are against “regulations” or that we just plain have too many “regulations”, I can’t help but wonder what they want to get away with.

Regulations exist to ensure companies * Treat the environment well * Treat their employees well * Treat shareholders well * Treat their customers well * Treat the marketplace well * Don’t cheat on taxes * And generally are honest in their dealings

I fully get being against specific regulations. They’re not all great. A lot of them are pains but still, they exist because somebody did something shitty and we decided to stop it. So people who are anti-regulation in general? What do you want to get away with?
