Section 230 protections for social media companies, municipal and state enticement packages for company additions and relocations, etc.

Companies use government regulation to gain unfair competitive advantage, raise the barrier to entry, and drive prices higher through the increased demand of government entities.

For instance, it is hard for smaller medical software companies to compete against Cerner/Leidos to provide software solutions if they are winning contracts for the entire DoD (Active and Veteran health).

If, let's say, the VA's hospital system were to be privatized, then each participating health system would have the ability to tailor their own solutions, and more companies could compete. This is a net positive in innovation for an industry that is plagued by mediocrity.
