Why, you don't think that having a body requiring minimum quality standards and opposing monopolies may be a good thing for consumers and workers?

I think the problem is when the regulatory body forms an unhealthy relationship with the companies that end up becoming monopolies (regulatory capture, good old fashioned corruption, revolving doors between the two, erc) and discourage new entrants.

It's a balance. It's hard.
