>Some of us don’t mind government regulation as much as your parents told you not to like it

I wasn't told to hate government regulations. 30 years of horrible, ineffective regulation taught me to hate these poorly thought out regulatoins. I grew up under No Child Left Behind. I saw the TSA form before my very eyes. I'm right now seeing ICE roam free, regulations be damned.

I don't hate the idea of regulation. I don't trust the people who are trying to regulate.

From the outside it does look like the US is especially bad at it.

Australia has had a pretty good track record with writing/implementing regulations.

US seems the only western nation with high trust issue with its own government.

Aussie, Canada, much of the Europe have no issue.
