Regulations are growing every week. Its insanity. Go and try to start a business, its one set of idiotic rules after another. Most dont have anything to do with real safety for the consumer.
The multi nationals are usually the ones that lobby for more regulations. They can handle it. They price it in. And no one enforces it when they break them.
Their smaller competition gets more rules, and hence has a harder time competing, and hence more go out of business.
No one enforces the rules for the multi corps. Hell, they dont even make them pay taxes. But all the small businesses get the regulations, along with agencies that the multi nationals fund, to enforce it and hold them accountable.
The FDA protects teh big guys, screws teh competition. Same with the SEC. Same with the rest. ITs a corportist/fascist scam, and there isnt a media or politician who is going to call it out, because they are afraid of the consequences.
Lots of fear. Bombing another religious group indefinitely. Power continuing to concentrate.
Many posters here are correct in predicting the direction we are going. Germans arent stupid, and they got fooled. It can happen here too.
And break some rules, and they will stick you in a metal cage.
Try to fix someones house without going through the gov first? Metal cage for you!!
