Lol any libertarian that thinks less government is actually better is blind to what man does when deregulation occurs. FDA, Flint MI, 2008 housing, 2008 WORLD ECONOMY crash

Look, we elect these people to govern. Just keep elected officials honest and everyone wins. But putting decisions in the hands of corporate America is not the frickin answer because we are inherently selfish. It's human nature. Make elected officials do their job by keeping a microscope on them. Deregulation isn't the answer. Paying attention is!

Some of y'all don't understand what happens with no regulation. Henry Ford fired people on the assembly line for losing fingers. Suddenly workers compensation became a thing. At the time it was egregious! Now I think we can all agree while WC needs reform, it's also a flat out necessity.

Do you even union? You know the things that have since crippled that particular industry...

Lol at people who think 2008 was a result of less regulation. Ever heard of the Community Reinvestment act? The Fed? Fannie Mae? Freddie Mac?

We had all of these factions of the government working with the intent of manipulating the market. Then when it all blows up in their faces, it's because we have too much of a "free market."
