because this is what we need to focus on here in the United States

if we took care of things as much as we overregulate

Are you saying you want deregulation?

Overregulation helps megacorps. Little guys can't compete. It has been a piece facilitating late stage capitalism.

Deregulation helps corporations and fucks literally everyone else. Idk who the fuck you think you're talking to. But regulations keep water, air, and food clean. Deregulation helps corporations, and billionaires fuck the everyday people by giving them less money and more polluted existence and more dangerous environments. Gtfoh you corporate clown.

You're describing good regulation. It exists. It's buried under piles of bullshit. Also, you're very polite.

Maybe I just don't have the liberty of living in a blue state, but I fail to understand your stance on over regulation. My state regulates literally everything except firearms. I grew up in Colorado and got trapped in a wasteland though, so it may be perspective.

I'm pretty sure this is what they're getting at. You could be less abrasive, but the way.
