All free societies choke on regulation
Once a country becomes developed, too many rules and regulation stagnate innovation, exploration and entrepreneurship. Eventually when nobody can do nothing, the country will crumble.It's called 'Built in self destruction' of the human race. If you think it's good to control, regulate, inhibit, ban and overburden with regulation, taxes and safety idiotacy, then you are doomed.
