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.
Who regulates the regulators?
In a high trust society, reasonable regulations can be agreed upon and enforced fairly. In our current corrupt low trust hellscape, I don't trust the government to regulate a damn thing. They have shown over and over again that our wellbeing is the very last thing they care about.
In a "high trust" (homogeneous) society regulations are largely unnecessary because violating societal standards results naturally in some sort of exclusion from that society. Regulations/laws are only necessary to deal with situations where people disagree.
