I hate that we feel the need to make everything boring and difficult, as though it's some sort of end-game goal to reach in every industry. Why must this be our default outlook on things?
But then there's a whole industries of middle-men who don't build and by most accounts don't add any value (other than keeping you out of jail due to the laws they themselves pushed) -- who love the boring and start licking their lips at the possibilities. Combine with revolving door, regulatory capture, lawfare etc to take your competitors out.
So that's what this article is about. We need details to know which side of the line we're walking on. Maybe this was better not as a response to you but I already started typing it lol.
