You started this thread on the basis that the people in Congress are wildly unqualified to have any say in what goes on in the tech industry, now you're suggesting they be the ones who decide on each and every individual regulation?
I suggest we elect tech literate people so that way they are qualified.
Voters never had the power to vote on every individual regulation and for good reason, that is a job best left up to experts in the feild.
Yes we have and no we shouldn't be slaves to technocrats there needs to be a democratic process and oversights. Prior to the 1920s regulatory agencies didn't even exist and things were fine.
Then we need to tighten up the screws on what goes on in these agencies. That means more Congressional oversight and DOJ involvement, so defunding the FBI is probably not the best idea here.
Tightening screws created that sort of corruption but yes go ahead and keep doing the same thing over and over again and see if you get different results.
There will always be corruption wherever there is power, that is not an excuse to stop regulating industries that need to be regulated.
Exactly and so your solution is to give the government more power? You admit giving them more power makes them more corrupt so why do you want regulatory agencies capturing more power for fewer people is good?
Why not put the power in the hands of the people instead of the technocrats elite and billionaires?
The constitution gives lawmakers the power to make laws, and they did that here. This case is already before the SC so we'll see what happens there
Oh the only ones who rule correctly are the originalist and they don't exist any.ore so regulatory creep will continue. Besides I have literally seen a few rulings from the Supreme Court where they basically admit they are wrong and justify it by clai
ming something like and you can google this "the bill of rights is not a suicide pact". So essentially saying they will set aside the bill of rights and put the continued existence of the union over constitutional rights.
This is just plain stupid. The entire point of regulations is to protect consumers from harmful or predatory business practices.
Well I showed you the corruption involved and how it achieves the opposite.
If you generally oppose regulations then you are the one promoting the same agenda as the large corporations, that would if anything make you the shill
Actually as I have explained in other threads, regulations are often made for the sole purpose of crushing small businesses that can't afford to comply for the purpose of monopolizing industry. There is a reason why Open AIs founder asked for regulation immediately and why Sam Backman fried was working so closely with regulators. It was so they could establish legal monopolies in new industries.
Also check out these facts that disprove you
1. Prior to the FDA Americans got most of their food supply from local businesses. Now most can be traced back to a handful of corporations
2. Prior to heavy banking regulations, 80% of banking was done with small mom and pop banks. Now nearly all banking is done with billion dollar corporations.
3. Local regulators were used to help form regional monopolies of utility companies
You can't call me a corporate shil while actually having the exact same political positions as Target, Disney, Amazon etc and pushing for regulatory agencies meant to kill market competition.
