Cut the millions of strings of negative regulations to free the giant that is America! [@ElonClipsX] Elon Musk: Irrational regulations are an invisible tax on humanity. “You really can think of the United States and many countries – it's arguably worse in the EU – as being like Gulliver, tied down by a million little strings. Any one given regulation is not that bad, but… )

@jasondebolt The biggest factor, in my opinion, is that crazy environmental regulations prevent building fire breaks and clearing brush near houses. That’s what allows massive fires to get going. Once they’re going, you’re just in damage control mode. In this case, damage control also…

@BasedBeffJezos It’s a tough call. I’m far from certain about what maximizes the probability of a good outcome for humanity here. For industries that have been around for many decades, there is definitely far too much counterproductive regulation that does not serve the greater good.

Mario Draghi’s critique is accurate. A thorough review of EU regulations to eliminate unnecessary rules and streamline activity in Europe would revitalize growth and strengthen competitiveness. Things should be default legal, rather than default illegal.
