  I’m not saying don’t regulate.

  I would much rather have the government stiffle innovation if that means that consumer are safe and benefit from said innovation.

  How can they benefit from innovation that has been stifled?

    Stifle wasn’t the right word. Sorry about that, I wrote my comment too fast amd English isn’t my first language.

    Innovation isn’t an all or nothing thing.

    There is a difference between removing all the red tape and saying “fuck it” and making sure that the said innovation isn’t outright dangerous. If we need to take thing slower to make sure that people aren’t killed directly or indirectly, then so be it.

        If we burn the planet for more economic productivity, we made more money but made human life worst.

        So what is the point of economic productivity if it makes our everyday live worst?

      Stifled innovation means a loss of competitive advantage.
