This was how Deregs start... they had it as a neighborhood association. A way to help each other during emergencies, or when families needed a friend to lean on. But somehow, were tricked, at least some of them, into signing an HOA charter. Those that refused began being harassed, threatened, and then the vandalism began. However, in one house was a person you harass at your own peril. And this whole system was shut down before it really got going. No one died, but some sorely wished they had. -- Anon Guest
[AN: Dereg planets usually start with grand ideas of freedom and corporate irresponsibility, hence "deregulation" being a core ideal... but I can still work with this]
Industry wants to be free. Profit and market growth are all that is and must be desired. Once all the corporations have all the money they could eat, the rest simply has to trickle down to the rest underneath. Just like a champagne pyramid.
But when they got everything established, they learned that other things had to be regulated. Certain bodies, for example. Or how one kept one's house and yard.
All for the greater good, you had to understand.
