  • Regulations

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALAN IANSON on Mon Sep 2 09:08:00 2024
    Regulations cost nothing and cause no delays.

    Following regulations may add costs and/or delays but they are there for a >> reason.

    Which means they cost something. Duh.

    Lack of regulations also cost something. Duh.

    Having worked in government most of my life I can tell you that some regulations are good -- they promote public or workplace safety, prevent businesses from hiring children, prevent monopolies, etc.

    A whole lot of them are only in place for the purpose of collecting money -- either through fines, fees, or hidden taxes -- and don't do anything for society.

    It is the latter group that most people who complain about regulations have
    a problem with.
