This one has an editorial following it.
We have the Food and Drug Administration to make sure the food we eat and the medicines we use do not make us sick or kill us.
We have the Environmental Protection Agency to stop polluters from fouling our water and making the air we breathe toxic.
We have the Securities and Exchange Commission to monitor the financial industry to assure that we are not scammed and that our money is not put at risk by avaricious stock manipulators.
We have these agencies, and many more at the federal state and local level, to set the rules and provide oversight so that we are not victimized by people running for-profit enterprises. Why? Because there will always be someone who is willing to cheat, lie and harm their fellow citizens so that they can get just a little bit richer. It is indisputable that, if we relied on letting the titans of our capitalist system police themselves, way too many of them would be unable to resist the opportunity to become pirates.
So, if we have safeguards to stop people who might taint our food, or dump chemicals in our rivers, or manipulate the stock market, why in the world would we not set boundaries for the billionaires who are inventing a technology that has the potential to demolish human civilization?
