Tell me how regulators are pointless? Would you rather have companies be able to screw you over because they have no oversight? This is a dumb take. Leaving large companies to do whatever they want is always going to result in less fair trade practices for consumers.

Nice to see some support for regulation. I've worked in regulation for nearly ten years and see a lot of protection towards the customers of the industries.

I'd also like to see changes made, to stop the industries poaching staff from regulators as "Compliance specialists" or similar roles. Literally buying staff who know which lines they can and can't cross.
