USA has always been more in favour of letting it go rampant, with much less popular resistance to it.

    Not always. Unless “always” for you means since Reagan.

    There were meaningful regulations in place, that probably didn’t go far enough for you and me, but were a lot closer than the absolute free-for-all insanity we have now. This has been a regression to pre-Depression era crony capitalism, and I’m afraid it will take another depression to wake these motherfuckers up.

    I’ll know times are changing when MBAs start leaping out of buildings.
