> When government understands these issues at all, they only want more control and restriction

CHIPS Act of 2022 allocated money to support US semiconductor manufacturing. Right-to-repair laws have been gaining traction even though it can't benefit any large economic interest directly. Those are two recent examples off the top of my head that aren't a reflection of a government that "only want more control and restriction."

I get that politics is frustrating but this kind of blanket caricature just relieves people of the responsibility for engaging with specifics, and when people commit to it that actually covers and enables real corruption.
