The Gov't should just get out of all of this. They got their $5.00 drone registration so they can assess blame if we hit something or crash and cause damage.... now go away. Go WIN a war or something.
Why? The world doesn't revolve around wars, besides, the only way to win a war is to never start one.
Regulations keep in check corporations, whose sole function is generating profits regardless of consequences.
Sure, some regulations burden average people a bit, but it's a small price to pay for much greater benefits, such as keeping your WIFI working, your drinking water clean, your town free of earthquakes caused by fracking, your medicines safe and effective etc. Would you like to have high energy radio towers, fracking wells, or Monsanto plants built all around your house for the profits of corporations that you do not own?
The "freedom" that Republicans and Libertarians keep pretending to fight for is freedom for corporations, not you. Otherwise they wouldn't be cozy with private prisons, that literally profit from taking away people's freedom. They would have introduced bills to abolish all prisons, but in fact, they are trying very hard to criminalize average people they don't like.
The world is not black and white. The government shouldn't overreach, and it shouldn't "just get out of all of this" either. Without government, corporations rule without accountability or recourse. At least you can elect or impeach government officials. You can also protest and yell at them at town halls to keep them in check. How do you plan to make sure corporate board directors, who you don't even know exist, work for you? You have no power over corporations. Just remember that.
