There are the ones driven by money and power, the paper pushers who revel in reading up on regulations and find schemes on how to squeeze a buck or two out of the system.
Than there are the self-driven individuals who enjoy creating new things, love solving problems and HATE dealing with paperwork.
As a consumer, as a citizen, you like the second kind. But, as laws and regulations become ever more time-consuming to deal with, who will you get more of ?
In my travels, I have often met very unique individuals who were working on groundbreaking ideas, who then ended up using those ideas just for themselves. They were not willing to put up with the bureaucracy necessary to offer their products to others. This is very unfortunate, since you never know what distance an idea can go unless you try it.
On the other hand, there are the ones who take on the challenges, only to be brought down by those, who use the thicket of regulations to their own competitive advantage.
Watch the 1988 movie "Tucker, a man and his dream" to spend a very entertaining 2 hours and also gain a better understanding of the latter point.
