The issue with businesses is that governments have too much control over them.. which leads to an erosion of fundamental human rights.

Alice can’t pay Bob, because Bob may be a terrorist, and company X complies with broad scoped, unfair, far exaggerated ‘legalities’ - unless it is in their business plan and they fight for it or accept future fines. It’s the same repeating playbook.

It stifles innovation, causes abuse of power and corrupts.

Distributed entities or DOWs or a country that doesn’t seek to play the broken power game. nostr:note1z0r9uvjh72p5lmg7n0fhy7lgv0ax3zdczesc4k2nnfvz6wjh23zsk7mjj3

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..
