[quote] Yes, they really do. Regulations do hurt small businesses (more than big ones.) if you didn't think that was true. You wouldn't say we need to use them on only big businesses.[/quote] Only from the perspective that big businesses can afford to skirt around them and little ones can't. [quote]And if you don't think applying too many restrictions on big business won't lead to negative consequences, I don't even know what to tell you other than linking to how many jobs are being outsourced for that reason... [/quote] that's why you stop outsourcing [quote]You say you want mostly environmental restrictions and quality of life kind of stuff. Like making sure there's no lead 'put' in lipstick, right? But are you arguing you only want to make big corporations to go under those restrictions? (correct? Like I'm not talking over you am I? Do you want restrictions on all business? Or "big" ones?)[/quote] Don't try to distract me by linking to something vaguely related but not pertinent. I'm talking about emissions and other such things when speaking environmentally and while clickbait does mislead companies there should nevertheless be more quality control. Technically, little businesses can't really outsource and are much easier to be inspected/made irreputable so they can't and won't but if they do, sure restrict them too. [quote]And how big, is big business? (again there's many problems with that.) And why do you think we need the government to try environmental restrictions? Like Europe going with a cap and trade system. (making their carbon emissions skyrocket upwards...)[/quote] I'm not really up for deciding alone what is big business, I'm simply to insignificant doing naught but arguing on a memeing creep's thread on a site to make stories involving weird shit on. This guy's mention "climate change hysteria" is also kind of silly going along with the "lol the changes we are experiencing are mostly natural :))))" crowd. I'm also not suggesting using the European model, but nevertheless there are blatant moments of overstepping boundaries like the Volkswagen scandal. Also, income inequality also hurts economies because then the poor can buy less products and put back less into the economy which what like, all depressions were about, which was solved by some measure of socialist policy.
