Does this power represent the government putting its thumb on the scales to prefer some competitors over others, perhaps based on their relative power and influence?
Does this power set up a conflict between laws and rights?
Are we giving this power to the right level of government?
Are we acting out of fear, anger, or self-promotion?
Is there any evidence the government is any good at this?Details here.
