You could say those regs/subs helped pull us from the pits of hells corps had put us into before those regs came along.

You guys might want to read some history starting at about 50 years ago. Only the completely crazy and those people absent minded of history would want to get rid of most corp regs.

In theory - it sounds nice, in reality - the corps were monster and abusing power and crushing the competition decades BEFORE the regs came along.
