Sadly the US has become like the giant in gilligan’s island - bound by a thousand ropes of regulations

If we want to accelerate technologically (and in areas like housing supply) we have to reduce bureaucracy and regulation

The Rabbit Hole

@TheRabbitHole

There is so much useless bureaucracy.

Everything has a process.

Mundane things need to be signed off on.

There are always more layers of review.

So much of this stuff needs to be slashed so the average person can easily navigate society.
