Your civility is appreciated.
Red is dead on about the opportunity cost of over-regulation.
My company has spent a decade and millions of tax dollars developing a novel, life saving technology.
Unfortunately, our attempts to bring the product to market in the US have been met with endless regulation. Most of it has little to do with safety and much to do with the governments desire to control and dominate every aspect of American's lives.
We ended up releasing our technology in Hong Kong. We had more freedom there on day one than we did after years of prostrating ourselves before congress,the fda,irs,faa, etc, etc.....
