Mainly thinking about this because of some of the comments in this post here, but I do think while what we currently have right now is way too much regulation.
Some examples of 'good regulation' in my opinion would be the existence of drivers' licenses, 'right to repair' laws, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and building codes.
While some notable 'bad regulation' is anything to do with 2A restrictions and the modern health care industry.
Overall, I'm just trying to gauge what is good vs bad regulation.
Most regulations these days are being used by mega corps to squash competition. Coke can pay a 100k a month nuisance fee for using unregulated x y z. Mom & Pop Soda Co. can't even sell their stuff at a farmer's market without the state coming down on them.
It's why you'll see big business doing PR ads, lobbying for things you would think would harm their bottom line, but it keeps out competition. It's corrupt.
Not that I'm a smoker or a vaper, but that is a great example. Big Tobacco demonized the vaping market with 'Think of the children!" nation-wide ads / regulation, until they caught up with their own product.
I'm in favor of minimal regulation. I want the state bureaucracy as small and less intrusive as possible. Make common sense regulations that give judges/juries wider powers. Just basic shit like, don't put poison in products. Don't clear cut without variety replanting. Don't make lake/river/soil/air toxic. Then don't allow the big corps to hire their own 'scientists'. The FDA has this bizarre system where Big Corps (looking at you pharma and aggriculture) get to submit their own research and they just go, 'ok'. When they are funded ridiculous amounts to be able to discover their own facts.
