Oh yeah, “Deregulate Everything”. Because that has done the USA a world of good in the past 100 years.
Not sure what’s supposed to be democratic about it. Or I guess they mean Democratic: OK, it needs to be pointed out. But isn’t that like pointing at the splinter in the Democrat’s eye while ignoring the beam in the Republican’s eye?
GOOD Regulation can be good: like, not selling contaminated food to the public.
BAD Regulation can be VERY bad: like, requiring hospitals to use middlemen who negotiate medication pricing with insurance providers, and whose only goal is to steadily increase the “savings” to insurance by increasing the “prices”, then requiring hospitals to “forgive” most of it to the insurance, while people without insurance get a bill for 1,000,000% the real cost.
Unfortunately, the US has seen bipartisan support for the latter kind, and recently has been slashing the former.

Shifting the point of view might be a good idea.
