I don't think that Uber was a good example of a good company hindered by regulations...

The pain-in-the-ass regulations also save a lot of people's time and money (Theranos-style startups are much less likely to pop-up over this side of the Atlantic also).

It's a trade-off, like most things in life.

For every Theranos, there are 25 Stripes, Dropboxes, and Mixpanels.

It’s not a good trade off at all.

Unless you're one of the little people whose health was harmed in the Theranos fiasco. Or are those people acceptable sacrifices?

I highly doubt that.
