Capitalism resists regulation, and races to the bottom. Two people, providing identical goods and I’m direct competition, will race to compete on price. If one manages to skirt regulation and the other doesn’t, the one who cheated will win.
This will compound on itself until it overtakes an entire economy, and that’s where the US is now. Every corporate entity with the means to do so actively lobbying to defeat decades of proven regulation in the name of profit.
It may not be by design, but it is in practice.
That’s where voting becomes important.
Capitalism is the best system we have. Look at the good it’s done in the Nordic countries. It’s a proven and successful system.
We just need people to care enough to vote.
