Re: How we know the lightbulb ban is a bad idea...
No one has ever fully trusted the government. Not even Liberals. But lately, its the Conservatives who simply cannot accept their entrepreneurial and corporate heroes are perfectly capable of lying through their teeth, too. Their ideological preferences have led them to direct their skepticism only to the Left. Money and power are not only irresistible to politicians. Burócrata is the Spanish word for both "bureaucrat" and "executive".
If you mistake a healthy distrust of business with a total faith in government, then it's already too late for you.
