> Private property and being able to run your firm on your own terms applies to everyone. In theory, maybe. In reality, this is a privilege for a very small number of rich people. > Anything that erodes the rights of companies erodes your rights. How absurd. Food safety regulations don't erode my rights one bit, but they do erode the rights of companies to negligently poison me. I guess I'm losing the right to start a food company that poisons people, but I'm happy to forfeit that right in exchange for not being poisoned. We could extend this list of reasonable tradeoffs in which we all exchange the right to treat people poorly for the right not be treated poorly, and we all would benefit. Except the people who want to sell poisoned food, those people will be worse off. I am okay with that. | ||

Would you like if your company was deemed a supply chain risk if you were in negotiation with the government and they didn't like the terms? | ||
