The Koch bros were always hypocrites, but because they apply their values selectively, not because they're incorrect.

The ultra-rich and a few fat cat bureaucrats are the ones profiting obscenely from the regulated oligopolies that dominate most Western economies.

All the evils that regulations were supposed to eliminate still exist (unless they became unprofitable). It is the public's ability to seek redress for wrongs that regulations have taken away.

Court judgements punished the guilty. Regulations punish everyone, except the guilty, who can duck liability by proving they were "compliant" and "certified" at an expense smaller competitors could never afford (by design).
