Wow.

Three people pushed the little down triangle on me, because...why?

Because my response violated HN guidelines? No, actually it didn't.

Because it didn't introduce new information? Actually, it did, didn't it? bunderbunder incorrectly asserted that the last 16 years has been a period of deregulation, and I pointed out that compared to the 80's when at least three major industries (airlines in 1978, telecommunications in 1984, and finance in 1980), almost nothing was deregulated similarly in the last 16 years. On the contrary, two fairly major examples of new and disruptive regulation that we did get in the last 16 years were Sarbanes-Oxley and the ACA.

<sigh>
