Regulations are great for handling tragedy of the commons scenarios. Eg, it&#x27;s in a single business&#x27;s best interest to dump chemicals in our shared water supply, but it is in the common people&#x27;s interest to have clean water. So we regulate polluting the water.<p>However, most regulations I encounter are more of the Baptists and Bootleggers variety. They both want highly regulated liquor for totally different reasons. Just like many large businesses are fine with extra regulations that well intentioned Do-Gooders suggest because the big businesses know it will block small innovative competitors from entering their market.<p>It&#x27;s so frustrating to see the anti-Corporate crowd cheer for more regulations. They&#x27;re just cementing their place in society.
