@billyjoebowers Markets are made up of businesses but I do not disagree.

These businesses need to be regulated.

"These businesses need to be regulated"

This is the neolib argument that profit drives efficiency and regulation drives conformance.

That only works if you believe that capitalist don't capture and neuter regulators - which they obviously and routinely do.

Capitalists patiently wait across multiple election cycles to install their puppet regulators who emasculate the original social benefit.

All they need is one election cycle in their favour at some future time.
