No, I believe what you like is a paternalistic, socialist state where the government makes all the important decisions for people and protects them from themselves.
Wow. There you go with the extremes again. I'd like just a functional uncompromised regulatory authority that held corporations accountable for sleazy activity.
Going from that to Cuba is a bridge you're building in your head.
Where does the "regulatory authority" stop then? Does it determine what "sleazy activity" is? What if you don't agree with the authority's determinations of "sleazy activity"? What if, decades from now, it decides that selling for any profit is "sleazy activity"?
I'd say you're the one not thinking far enough ahead.
WOW. Very well said.
