    Folks here think regulation, and immediately put it to food and Ai or other white collar applications.

    Working in plastic manufacturing for ten years, and chemical manufacturing for a few more, the term deregulatuon terrifies me. Regulations keep employees safe, and aims to keep the products we make safe.

    I think of environmental impacts first and foremost, which is the kind of deregulation I assumed was meant with this regimes obsession with bringing back coal, oil, and mining/deforestation if our national parks.

    Getting money out of politics is implemented with regulation. We only have one environment, and they want to deregulate environmental safety/preservation.
