Have you heard the good news about regulatory capture?

Probably not if you're one of the public.

Imagine how the world would look if the EU mandated rs-232c ports on all devices. Or 3.5" headphone jacks. Or the use of D batteries for all electronics. How about ms-dos compatibility?

Are these examples supposed to be bad? I think the world would be in a better place.
