Now I think maybe we need a "narrative" on "regulatory capture"...
RFK Jr:
"My 40-year career as an environmental and public health advocate gave me a unique understanding of the corrupting mechanisms of “regulatory capture,” the process by which the regulator becomes beholden to the industry it’s meant to regulate. I spent four decades suing the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other environmental agencies to expose and remedy the corrupt sweetheart relationship that so often put regulators in bed with the polluting industries they regulated. Among the hundreds of lawsuits I filed, perhaps a quarter were against regulatory officials making illegal concessions to Big Oil, King Coal, and the chemical and agricultural polluters that had captured their loyalties. I thought I knew everything about regulatory capture and that I had armored myself with an appropriate shield of cynicism."
I'm thinking that's an idea that crosses the divide between those who "got here" as conservatives and those who "got here" as liberals and other options too.
How does regulatory capture happen?
How does understanding how it happens end up undermining traditional abstract disputes between the "right" and the "left"?
