Well, currently you guys in US (and also we in EU in many ways) seem to have two styles of governing corporations: bailouts & less regulation and bailouts & more regulation. I agree that less regulation combined with bailouts is worst of all worlds. We should have no bailouts and as little regulation as possible.

Not that bailouts have anything to do with Unity really, it was just the most immediate thing I remembered that clearly doesn't work well with less regulation as demonstrated by subprime mortgages in late 2010s for instance.

    you do realize that this isn't an Ayn Rand cosplay convention... right?

    the "no bailouts and as little regulation as possible" is a fairy tale, unless you think that bombing the families of striking coal miners was a good thing.

    PS: the no bailout/regulation shtick comes from the idea that you somehow are unaffected by the actions of others

    Perhaps you should re-read your Ayn Rand or libertarian manifestos if you think anyone in those cliques thinks bombing of anyone is legal. Or perhaps I'm not understanding what you're referring to. Please enlighten me.
