Do all the highest cost businesses not all have the largest government regulation?

Telecoms, housing, dairy and cheese, alcohol; even maple syrup is a cartel in Canada, its not normal that a tiny glass bottle should be so expensive.

China does devalue their dollar to prop up their production. Though we arguably do the same by buying mortgage bonds and discounting home values in the CPI to keep our money loose.

Because companies don't secure their systems. Its like they are leaving out unguarded cash registers and are telling people not to touch it as their main method of security.

Say we overhauled our firefighting and massively expanded controlled burns would that help, or would it just draw out the smoke inhilation at lower levels?
