    Regulation is awesome. What matters is how regulation is decided. Do we use principles that create more robust regulation or ones that don't?
    People all over the world have independently chosen (are actively independently choosing) to designate gov'ts as regulator when private regulation fails to do what they think is right.

    Your gripes against gov't are not the same as your gripes against regulation, I get that. You seem to refuse to accept that people choose gov't (as their best self-interested solution) to step in when private solutions fail.

    Is it lost on you that people everywhere have gov'ts because they choose to have them? You seem hyper-insistent that gov'ts are things that happen to unwitting people, but how does that hold up to any view of the world being chock-full of gov'ts?

    I recall discussing with you how the people of today (but perhaps not in the future) want government for several different domains. It isn't unless people want freedom to choose that they don't want government to choose for them.

    When the choice is government, the result is a market of limited choice.
