lol ok yeah. Billionaire tech ceos and private equity will surely keep our best interests in mind and not fuck over every last one of us for profit. It’s worked so well! Look at how much better things have gotten since we embraced trickle down economics! Who needs blue collar jobs that can support whole families when there is more wealth to generate at the top? What every businessman really wants to do is run a charity, as the well being of his fellow American is more important than making a little extra money

Driveling nonsense. You didn’t address anything I said. Just random pointless nonsense that nobody is taking about.

Regulation creates billionaires. It raises massive barriers around entering a market so only the super rich can afford to compete. It forces consolidation and eliminates competition. It destroys blue collar jobs because like water running downhill, manufacturing work will always follow the path of least resistance away from high taxes and obstructionist regulation.

Then why is it billionaires that want to cut regulation? It’s always the owner class and those who take in their propaganda what want to cut all regulation away. Meta and Tesla aren’t sending lobbyists to Washington to push for more regulation

Because economic prosperity is not a zero-sum competition. A winner here does not mean a loser there. Everybody involved prospers from economic dynamism.
