      Great. The regulations are working. It’s really not up to two kids with a laptop plus a sugar daddy to decide for society that a regulation is no longer needed.

      The only person coming off as more of an arrogant prick than me right now is you. If you don’t think regulation that’s not carefully passed can hinder innovation literally everyone disagrees with you including regulators. That’s not even controversial.

      Never said that. I will continue to say, until you find valid examples, that citing Uber and AirBNB as examples of successes is not backing your arguments in the least. They’ve done tremendous harm to the commons and to people’s lives due to the lack of regulation.

      for whom? Uber: MILLIONS of extra vehicle miles driven; psgrs diverted from transit; cycling in SF is now a death match AirBNB: thousands of residents permanently displaced; entire buildings turned into illegal hotels. The end does not justify the means.

      Jim V.o.R. Retweeted Vacation Rentals

      and we are damn well drawing a line in both cases because these companies have run roughshod over community well-being. In Today’s (3/17) Tweets: Uber’s forced NEW REGULATION on Valencia & elsewhere: https://twitter.com/MLNow/status/974867176271368193 … Oh look, Homeaway/AirBNB toohttps://twitter.com/vacation_rent/status/975261976115912704 …

      You might salvage this train of though by dumping the examples and reconsidering the premise. That is, let’s hear about an actual “regulation” that interferes with release of a new, useful, not screwing-up-the-world invention. And we can consider how to fix that.

      Freebie for you: Stripe. Before Stripe, there were maybe 2 companies at the root of credit card clearing for online. Both sucked. I knew this but never imagined anyone could fix it with “powerful” competitors and dense banking regs. Stripe just shoved through and fixed it.

      Stripe didn’t have to fight with as much regulation as people believe IMO, but they did have to partner with banks. But that’s a good one. How many bank charters have been created in the past 15 years?

      it’s not a bad thing that they partnered with banks. Basic banking is a solved problem. Their innovation meets the demands of essential regs concerning ccard safety that probably < 0.11% of online merchants could implement truly securely.

      Not saying it is bad, just that they short circuited regulation. So why aren’t there new banks?

          Ally? SV Credit Union? (not super new) Basic banking: solved problem. The banks most needed IMO are in places overrun by check cashing/payday loan/rent-to-own joints. That will take a special kind of org. I’d love to start one. http://even.com  seems to be in the space

          Those are not new banks, they’re new skins on old banks, which is a fundamentally different thing

          Why do we need another bank? I’m happy with my frumpy credit union. I put money in, they don’t lose it, they don’t try to sell me financial crap, when i need some cash, i get it from an ATM. It’s all good.

          The basic function of a bank should be no more exciting than the basic function of Stripe. I hire both companies to displace stuff that should never bring “surprise” to my life, so i can concentrated on the stuff that does, or that should.

          You literally just named an enormous problem a new bank could solve then said “why do we need a new bank?” in the next tweet
