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.
