I agree entirely, but I think that’s a problem because gov is captured by corporate interests / neoliberal ideas.

They try to balance keeping corporate donors happy with keeping people happy, and create regulations that are toothless empty gestures that only serve as employment opportunities for lawyers and consultants.

So yes, “if done right” is doing a lot of work. But i refuse to cede gov to the corps and retreat to anarcho-capitalist ideas like “this is a technical problem”. We attack on all fronts - regulation and technological solutions.
