I always picture companies see regulatory bodies as a slalom course with regulations representing the slalom poles.

The course changes occasionally, but companies adapt quickly and learn to handle the course changes efficiently on the next run, skimming by the poles on the way to the finish line.

Every once in a while a new pole smacks them in the face, but by the next fiscal year, they’ve learned to navigate past it as if it weren’t there.

Lawyer are usually damn fine slalom racers, but occasionally you do need to donate money to the course to encourage the owner to move the poles.
