The catastrophe wasn't caused by regulation
You've proven communists can't be bothered to read.
The post was about the expense and difficulty of bridge building and operating shipping, not the disaster itself.
Communists like you set loose an EPA whose implicit goal is the end of all heavy industry and infrastructure development in the USA.
The've accomplished their goal in spades, to the point we had to hire a Chinese firm to build the bay bridge, at over 10 times the cost, adjusted for inflation, of similar projects previously done with what once was our domestic industry.
The great middle of the USA (and most other countries) was developed around the extraction of resources and the processing of them into finished goods.
The communists have regulated that into illegality, largely via the EPA, so now all the towns are dying hotbeds of opiate addiction.
That is YOUR legacy, communist scumbag.
In the case of shipping, for instance, California mandates every truck taking containers from the port be brand new because "muh greenhouse gases".
Trucks cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and in a functioning economy they're driven until the wheels fall off (which, btw, is more environmentally sound than scrapping functional trucks with milions of miles ahead of them to get shiny new ones because communism).
My guess is 2 of every 3 dollars spent moving goods through California's ports are being eaten by this regulation alone, and that's just moving them through the ports.
If you run through the entire supply chain and add up all the communists' dysfunctional unfunded mandates and corrupt skimming, it's easy to account for a good half to 2/3 of the final purchase price of a product that comes through the door of your house.
"but muh regulations stop corporate abuse"
No. In their current form they give corporations a government entity to bribe, which then makes it impossible to start competing companies that do better for the public.
When you need a legal team to simply grow produce or drive parcels from one place to another, or the government demands you hire a dead-weight nigger for every productive staff you have,you simply don't do that anymore, and the incumbents who can pay lawyers can jack the price up another 100%.
