Agreed,
Government regulations are a ball and chain to small start ups.
They stifle innovation, imply mistrust of individuals and free markets, and turn our lives over to losers that cannot manage theirs.
An attorney I know serves state, county and Chicago government workers for their foreclosure and bankruptcy cases. He’s a liberal Democrat, but is shocked that no matter if they make $60 thousand or $160 thousand their monthly bills equal their net pay - credit card debt, mortgages, car payments, etc.
They spend everything they earn. They’re all underworked, overpaid, and refugees from the competitive marketplace.
Why would we centrally plan an economy, ever?
