All I'm doing is challenging a vague accusation. You can claim regulatory capture for any proposal. All policy has tradeoffs; speculating vaguely about negative consequences does not help me weigh that balance.


In a profit driven world, regulatory capture is the default assumption. Genuine corporate philanthropy is the exception that deserves special attention.

Suspecting a company to act in its own profit enhancing interest is borderline tautological.
