Except that's not the way it works. It never has been. That's the reason they began passing regulations in the first place.
If not for such regulation, you'd probably still have cocaine as an ingredient in coca cola. You'd also still have locks on doors preventing workers from leaving such as the Triangle Shirt Waist Factory. If you had strong regulations that were actually enforced, you wouldn't have had the tragedy at the Upper Big Branch mine.
I did say exceptions. But if they do have such regulation, they should have a standardize way of doing it, and someone to actually look to see that it is working. Standardizing security will screw everyone over once the first gets hacked. And overlooking it will cost so much money, that tax will rise beyond the roof. If they don't and leave it to the companies, it'll just be another failure.
That said, if we had strong regulation that were enforced, there probably won't be much a "land of the free" left... if there is any left, anyway.
There are limits, and this is one of them. Not to mention all those fucking riders. Fuck you, you unpassable laws, fuck you to oblivion.
