Yeah it’s only a straightforward answer on paper. The fact of the matter is it’s a tug of war between two untrustworthy parties.

I would like to see a narrow mission for regulators, perhaps decentralized through input from the States, than cannot be scope-crept and removing corrupt off-ramps like taking a private sector role immediately after a public sector one (Scott Gottlieb, for example).

Then I would like to see a complete severing of corporate subsidies, especially for things that are actively harmful to public health.

One of the most common mistakes I see is people assuming that we live in a pure capitalist system, when the government puts an extremely heavy thumb on the scale.

It's crony capitalism. Big question is if all roads lead to a big thumb. The thumb can be government, cartel, corporations, or some king or something
