Regulation may attempt to steer processes it can't control ('member Prohibition?). Fortunately we have Elon Musk, possibly the only person in the country who moves faster than #45. https://www.wired.com/2017/01/inside...g-los-angeles/

"Jobs at risk" is a logical fallacy — Red Herring. There's twice as many jobs at risk if you do relax regulation. Just different jobs, like not mining coal.
