You get rid of some regulations it opens the door to deregulate any regulations. I guess what I'm saying is that in America corrupt people pay to have regulations deregulated, or they even pay for regulations in one aspect to help boost more use of deregulated products. Like for example the organic industry use to be highly regulated, but now it's impossible to keep up with those regulations when everything around a organic crop is cultivated in a non organic standard. The kicker is that the regulations surrounding non organic crops make it easier to use bad growing practices. Then take a example like this, a grass fed cow gets sold to a feed lot to be fattened up. Because of lack of regulation that meat is sold as grass fed when it was not in the end of its life. So this is why I'm just saying we don't know the true motives behind the reasons behind deregulating. Sure people in the government weren't doing their jobs, and we're highly paid. That might be part of the problem. Although the short term results are in, we don't know the long term results of no regulations. It opens the door for a jungle like situation. And can corrupt companies if they have nobody to answer to. If everyone operated ethically we wouldn't need regulations. I guess that's my main concern when it comes to looking at a country who has deregulated its agriculture sector.
Cutting all those regulations can open the door to rampant corporate smog. Deplete the water quality, poison people. Having some regulations are good. Take for example deregulated chemical applications on crops. It causes water poisoning, chemical drift, and poor health in communities. Even with regulations, without audit and laws to regulate the person applying chemicals, the door is wide open for them to pull a Hitler through the company controlling the chemical application policy and chemical application instructions. So who is responsible, the company making the chemicals that have no regulations, or the individual applying the chemicals to the crop?. The company has no responsibility when the chemicals mar the equipment or drift over and harms the neighbors property... But the person applying it is responsible. Clear as mud glass.
I'm sick of two faced society and having to explain to people I don't support a sane political party or agenda. So when I hear your vote counts, I say that's impossible because I vote third party every year, even if I vote vermin supreme some years. And then I leave my ballot undecided, so to keep my beliefs sovereign in the name of solidarity I will hand in a blank ballot the next election to see if someone from the counter will call me. They need a box on the ballot that has a option for undecided.
