Yes, the place to discuss it is in the political arena but whether you can change it in any significant way without the expense of significant resources is questionable. There are many regulations that serve effectively to support a monopoly / oligopoly by installing market entry barriers (Taxi, TelCo, founding a bank). Price controls effectively are regulations that can influence the well-being and survival of many people and in the years after WW2 the Germans were practically forced to break the regulations (against Reich and Allied law) in order to survive. You think they did wrong?

I also think that you (and everyone) should try to follow the laws (laws = regulations and much more) as much as possible as long as you do not believe they are unacceptably unjust. The dilemma between justice and law is itself a recognized part of law philosophy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radbruch_formula

I fully agree with your last sentence but even here I must ask what regulation is good for if people don't or cannot abide or it's not enforceable?

EDIT: For an excellent example of ambiguity and limits of law and regulations I can strongly recommend: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_of_the_Speluncean_Exp... (best to read the original article, you can find the PDF in the internetz)
