    We have one of the most car dependent societies in the world and also the highest car prices. Burn it down and deregulate.

      Deregulate? So corporations can enslave you completely? Huh?

      Where did Americans get this idea that regulation is holding you back? Probably the same “think tanks” that convinced so many they were poor because of immigrants instead of… as usual… the wool being pulled over your eyes by the wealth addicts…

        Probably because the regulations protect the corporations while screwing the consumers. If a rule heavily benefits the companies then it could be a good idea to remove it. Although I do think that blanket deregulation is too broad and too prone to being twisted against the populace.
