Where do you get your information from regarding world events?

What freaks me out more than any social reforms or possible economic crash that the Trump government may cause is the prospect of wide ranging deregulation, which has always been a goal of conservatives in the US but now looks to actually come to fruition with Trump looking to cut $2 trillion from the US budget.

Deregulation in my opinion is the biggest threat to personal safety in the developed world.
Would you feel safe flying if there was not a huge regulatory body?
Would you trust the foods you eat not to be full of parasites or metals if farms and factories weren’t regulated?
Would you trust all your wireless lithium battery powered devices not to explode if there were no regulations?
(This can keep going on and on as naseum with every aspect of our life based around consumerism)

They say ‘the market will regulate itself’ - and what they mean is that companies that cause incidents, injuries and death will go under, rather than there being regulatory bodies to stop these incidents in the first place.

Yes, the white rabbit that capitalists have long touted....that the market can regulate itself. What a crock of shit.

Before we get to the idea that unsafe/unethical businesses will go under, what will also occur will be a multi-layered system - the safe options which cost more money, and then the increasingly less safe options which get cheaper.

Consider the difference between a brand new car, vs one at 2/5/10/20 years....then apply that same rationale to everything. Once it envelops the critical services of a community (education/sanitation/policing/energy) then you have significant erosion of community cohesion - something we are beginning to see now.

Capitalism's embrace of the cult of the individual, one so enthusiastically adopted and championed worldwide by democratic institutions, is the demonic harbinger of this decay.

Puts money in the pockets of donors, though.

The UK is spending incredible amounts on outsourcing with huge companies that often completely fail to deliver, and then spending more with the same companies to try again. With court cases and criminal behaviour managed away, of course.

Yeah, the old false economy of cutting your labour spend but spending the same, if not more on non-ongoings and consultants.

I am sure DOGE will find inefficiencies. As mentioned earlier DOD had failed 7 consecutive audits and Department of Education three in a row. I am sure they'll find billions in legit savings. But there's no way they find $2 trillion when more than half of the total spend is social security, health and debt servicing. I guess the US could default on its debt and save $1 trillion instantly.

I'd look at the safety record of the airline before I flew. Even with regulation, I wouldn't fly an airline with a poor safety record
If I found out a food was contaminated, I'd refuse to buy it. That said, when I travel, I never research the country's approach to regulating food before I eat. And, I'd guess no one does.
If a brand of batteries exploded, I again wouldn't buy it.

You might be underestimating the power of the consumer. Anyway, deregulation doesn't mean no regulation.

If there's only 1 or 2 choices, then the consumer has no power - and there are great many reasons why, even right now, the consumer has no power.

I live in a remote area.

There is one fuel pump, with one price = that's what fuel costs, that's the only choice.
There is one grocery store = food costs what it costs.
There is one gas company = that's what gas costs.
There is one water facility = that's what water costs.
There is NO doctor.
There is NO dentist.
There ARE NO other allied health practitioners.
There is ONE freight service = that's what freight costs.
And I could go on and on for every single thing (service or otherwise) that you might need.....at best there are 2 choices, but for the vast majority there is but a single option of provider.

Your suggestion that "consumers have power" is laughably naive and misleading in the extreme.

sometimes regulation is way behind technology

Depending on your age , toys that had batteries were a simple slide out clip . Then the flat batteries were introduced into various products making them dangerous for kids,sadly kids have died swallowing them , now you need a screw driver to access them now, but it took a while for regulation to catch up
