No system is perfect but if you think removing regulations will be an improvement then you are insane and do not actually live on the same planet as the rest of us.

Lol, I mean the commonwealth legal system is not that different from American Law. Lawmakers literally pass bills everyday that fuck up everything because they think one thing will happen and it literally never turns out that way. Without getting into some super detailed nuanced thing here are some simple things.

Phone contracts in the US. Buy a 1000 dollar phone. Pick a 2 year contract or a 3 year contract. $1000 gets divided however you would like over your term. People cry that phones don't last 3 years and demands that government steps in to stop the evil phone company. Phone company makes 3 year plans illegal. Ok, so companies now only have 2 year plans, good job you fixed nothing.

Minimum wage laws, I can do a no skill job like flipping burgers for the cost of $10 an hour, but shit people can't live on $10 an hour. No problem, govt is just gonna make it so I as an evil employer have to pay $20. Problem solved! Except no, because now I just fire everyone or I automate.

Hey let's do a wealth tax! Nah cyah I'm just gonna flee, etc. etc. etc.

Regulation never works as intended, you are trying to tell me you were in some important position in a major company and you are trying to tell me regulation fixes things? Ok.

The most ironic thing of this is that you hate evil corps so much but all that crony capitalism only exists because these companies are protected by crooked politicians (government) that only have that power because people like you think they would fix things and want to keep giving these same crooks more money and power. Oh yeah they fixed shit all right, for their billionaire buddies.

You are presupposing all regulations are good anti-corporate restrictions on terrible behavior rather than often being counterproductive, unnecessary and often supported by big corporations looking for advantages over potential competitors.
I support removing anti-liberty regulations that fit the latter type of description.
I am not in favor of letting corporations do whatever they want when it harms or defrauds other people.

I just mentioned the term regulatory capture. Are you familiar with what that is?
Big corporations often support and lobby for various regulations.

Bragging about how successful of a business person you are and pretending that makes you right is another fallacious and douchey move.
Yes I have spent alot of time reading books and articles from thats like mises.org to actually become knowledgable about these topics. I don't ignorantly run my mouth like some other people in this discussion. Thats not a bad thing.

Under the current statist paradigm you decided breaking the law was worth risking a fine. Ok? How does that refute anything I have said?
Did I claim there are no bad actors and anyone working for a corporation always does good? No.
Instead this idea stems from your delusions and dishonest mischaracterizations of me.

You do realise every full time job was a living wage not even 30 years ago right?
Corporate greed caused this issue.

If the fine was bigger it wouldn't have been worth it

>There were regulations (laws) to prevent deviant behavior we went on anyways

>More regulations will solve the deviancy

Is opposing a ban on feeding homeless people an example of corporate bootlicking and a necessary regulation to prevent disaster?

How about opposing failed rent control policies?

The EPA has a number of crazy and excessive regulations.
Take this case for example:

http://www.freedomworks.org/content/senator-rand-paul-fights-abusive-epa

Is that regulation necessary and proper and removing it would be evil?
Or has it caused undue distress and threats to a family concerning what they do with their own property?



So you have a quibble with your government over what you think the size of a fine should have been and it wasn't at all relevant to my post and your false claims. Interesting.

Just saw this

Lol more intellectual dishonesty from the deflection king.
Less red tape would not have improved the issue, more consequences would have. 100% relevant and your pathetic shilling doesn't change that.



Then move to somalia, society has a cost.

Im not deflecting anything.
You are the one repeatedly deflecting with personal anecdotes and snobbery, irrelevant rich women quotes, and fines that have nothing to do with the points being made.

Desperately accusing me of "pathetic shilling" when you are YET AGAIN refuted and exposed as an anti-intellectual simpleton is quite rich.

Falsely accusing people of being corporate shills instead of addressing their arguments is whats actually pathetic.
