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.
Conservatives used to argue against driver's licenses. I guess you can make an argument against them. But requiring insurance, even if it's an insurance with a 100% payment, is reasonable so you don't go around wrecking other people and their cars without compensation.
Building codes. Can be good or bad. In Europe, our excessive regulations have made building so expensive that it's almost impossible, and in many places, homes are almost unaffordable.
The interesting thing is that even as regulation has gone too far in some areas, it has been sorely lacking in places where even people like Hayek advocated for a state role, namely the prevention of monopolies.
Instead what is has done is have people treat cars as expensive toys with a load of scams helped along by the legal industry to push up prices.
When people speak of a driving loicence they really mean the person has been trained or tested to drive properly instead of something that lets the state fuck about with peoples rides.
