It’s much easier to control businesses (and indirectly people) because there are far fewer businesses and businesses have money - meaning you can bankrupt them, which is literally the opposing reason for a business to exist.

The general public focus too much on laws that target people and less about laws that impact business and have downstream impacts on the public.

A good example is the taxi license system before ride sharing. Taxi drivers don’t appear to be better drivers or less likely to have the odd violent or unsuitable drivers. I have no data, however I’d imagine ride share drivers are perhaps more careful and safer drivers.

This is an example of a business law that impacted everyday people globally - and for what? Hitchhiking laws? Fear of missed tax collection? The fantasy of safer drivers who take some single day taxi driving course?

NB. Uber is still a crap company..
