All you have done is make a beautiful case of how the free market will innovate and thrive if the government will just kindly piss off.



You are missing the point. its not about what you want and how it's better for you, it's about a level playing field. My objection is why were they allowed to bypass laws.

It's like only allowing 50 restaurant permits at a fee of 10M per permit in a city. then turning around and allowing limitless food trucks with no permit fee.

You can't really hate the restaurants for long wait times because 10k people want to goto 50 restaurants, and it's not really fair either to claim that food trucks were innovative when the city was shutting down lemonade stands, girl scout cookie tables, and church bake sales as "food establishments" ...but then all of a sudden decide that food trucks are mobile and dont fall under the definition of "establishment".

No, you're missing your own point.

Every "problem" you're describing is a result of the government interfering in the free market. And your proposed solution is to have the government interfere more in the free market.

C'mon man.
