Can't see your vid at work, but as I understand it, coorperations get a lot of their power from the sweet exclusive deals they get from the government and helps them kill their competition w/ the advantages they're given. Whatever was the original intent of regulations, they sure don't serve those reasons anymore.

So what else is new?

Major companies have been outsourcing for decades. Without regulations, common products may harm you.

Maybe I'm one-in-a-million here but I don't give a **** about spending a few extra dollars on a product to ensure it's safe. If raising costs to insure my sneakers aren't coated with asbestos and dipped in poison because it's normally cheaper for them to shove this crap in a box after assembly, I don't mind.

Shoot, maybe in-house product testing means more jobs. I'll pay an extra 3% on a child's toy if it means 1,000 job openings suddenly become available.

Re: Regulations help big business

It really depends upon how the regulations are written whether they are helpful to big business or not. Oftentimes in the U.S., big business is the one lobbying for more regulations because it will put them at an advantage by driving prices upward for their competition and/or forcing taxpayers to funnel money their way.

Small business is much too regulated in the U.S., but large companies like Walmart, not nearly enough...
