gollark: Governments actually having some input from the organizations they deal with and regulate is important, but it's also bad if you end up having large companies benefit themselves at the expense of smaller ones and/or people.
gollark: intellec™
gollark: See, if the government was mostly not allowed to do things, that wouldn't happen because they COULDN'T make those changes.
gollark: Most big Western governments have at least a few tens of percentage points of national GDP.
gollark: They just don't actually care. They can do many other things sort of okay ish.
