Life Lesson #1: Whenever a giant corporation wants to reduce or eliminate regulations it benefits THE CORPORATION, not consumers.
Consumers will pay more, that's always the #1 Goal of any company (yours and mine included). So when I see any sector lobbying for deregulation (Wall Street, banking, oil, telecommunications, etc) my asshole clenches because I know I am about to be fucked (without lube).
Deregulation does two things the Powerful love: it makes the rich richer and the poor poorer.
