I specifically said that it isn’t always a win to address this. But yes, creating a strawman certainly makes arguments easier.

You say that government intervention is not always a win. Sure, totally true, also it isn't always Sunday. I'm was asking for concrete arguments or reasons, vaguely gesturing at regulation having drawbacks isn't one. And calling it out isn't a strawman.

The parent articulated pros, you responded with a truism instead of cons or refuting his points, which certainly makes arguments easier.

Then your post upthread was content-free and pointless. It's not news that government intervention sometimes goes badly.

Maybe explain why you think a specific instance of government intervention is bad. That would actually be interesting and lead to discussion.
