Can you back that up with.... you know... evidence? "regulation bad" tends to be a political talking point more than a valid argument when you're this vague.

Edited: to add, this speech talks a lot about the reduction in research funding from the US government which arguably has nothing to do with the regulatory environment.

You should be able to open up shop as a doctor or lawyer or engineer without any degree (!) in a free market, or spin up a school if you want

We are so very far from any of that, that people think it's merely funding or AI or immigration causing this current issue (maybe immediately but not on the long term trend if you see older articles on a "college bubble" maybe a decade ago), where it is decades of over-regulation of these industries preventing any competitive alternative to them

So you get less and less quality options that cost more

Evidence of this would be in contrast, something like computer hardware that keeps improving and getting cheaper, relatively speaking
