      Corona was an overnight failure, years in the making. And it was made by the regulatory state & its cheerleaders, who disabled America’s ability to quickly innovate in the physical world. To build, and to rebuild, we must sweep aside obsolete regulations. https://www.wsj.com/articles/innovation-cant-be-forced-but-it-can-be-quashed-11589555004 …pic.twitter.com/XurbQu808S

      This clip is exactly right: > In “The Innovation Illusion” (2016), Fredrik Erixon and Bjorn Weigel argue that Western economies have “developed a near obsession with precautions that simply cannot be married to a culture of experimentation.”

      I also broadly agree with @mattwridley on IP. Regulations & patents alike are a form of artificial scarcity. Businesses operate under the incentives that policy makers set, but the software industry shows that it doesn’t need to be that way. And software is eating the world.

      People actually do want regulated marketplaces, with quality control and bans of bad actors. It’s expensive to test every food or drug yourself. But in the situation where the regulator *themselves* is a bad actor, you need a choice of marketplaces. Like in different countries.

      Feels like you need a more granular take. It’s the lack of federal coordination, to streamline regulation + speed process in some areas, allocate resources to others, stand up demand by using the Defense Production Act so the private sector is quickly incentivized to produce PPE

      Feels like "reform the system we have" vs a "pick entirely new system" disagreement

          We aren’t going to fix the state on the timescales needed to control corona. So it will probably be Snow Crash for a while. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1261419414949294083?s=21 …https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1261419414949294083 …

          I don't want to romanticize the Snow Crash Strategy. We're all going to see how bad it is relative to the alternative of a competent state. It won't be pleasant to live in a red zone. But Snow Crash is better than nothing. https://twitter.com/balajis/status/1256441983108673542 …

          Yes this is a failure by implicit and explicit abdication of powers and responsibilities to regulate then made worse by using state powers of regulation for the personal protection of the resident of the White House.
