Louis Rossmann made a video on it, and something that came to mind while I was watching it was that while regulation can in fact be abused, I think some regulation has to be in place because a company that can charge whatever it wants for a car doing this just for the sake of control is awful. Do we really own the things we buy, or do the corporations?
I know in the EU, they have a lot more laws/regulations about warranties and other R2R shit, I just want to be able to fix the shit I own by myself without the company hindering me from doing so because they want to treat me like a leasee while charging me purchase prices.
Edit: Starting in South Korea, but very concerned that it could be brought here considering horse armor started the gaming industry’s bullshit.
So you just want to double down and increase state control further?
I'm okay with a state that makes life better for normal people and families, even if it means less freedom for multinational megacorps
Believe me I'm no fan of megacorps, but I find that most government regulation makes things worse, not better.
Good regulation requires that the government 1. Understands the problem well enough to fix it, and 2. Actually wants to fix the problem, as opposed to paying it lip service and then just supporting big business for for those sweet kickbacks. I think it's very rare for both of those things to be true.
You're correct, but nevertheless many of the problems that we have are already a result of government intervention. The entire economic edifice that allows corporations (or more importantly, megacorporations) to exist is a result of governments creating these legal entities and enabling them to act in various different ways that normal people wouldn't be allowed to
