      Yes, corporate lobbying is a huge problem here and is often used as a weapon to stifle competition and increase profits. At times it’s hard to remember what regulations are meant to do: Protect People from Corporations

      We don’t need to remove regulations, we need to improve them.

        Historically they were introduced to protect corporations from people. Well, sometimes some collective interests from other collective interests.

        We don’t need to remove regulations, we need to improve them.
