One of the problems with regulating any industry is you end up with layman in that field, in charge of the experts in that field. The regulators are variations of lawyers and bureaucrats. They are not all economists, businessmen and technical experts. This result is not expert advice to experts, by rather flawed advise to experts, by laymen.
To put this in perspective, why not regulate the legal industry; lawyers, using engineers? Or why not use plumbers to regulate medicine? Maybe the EPA can be regulated by Actors and Dancers. I am showing you the pitfalls of using laymen to regulate experts in another field. If the layman is leading, by the power of law, it becomes more political than technical. Political power allows the bull crap to float to the top, using nothing but hot air. It makes more sense to leave it to the experts, since they are the best for optimizing their profession.
On the other hand, the Democrat party has demonstrated what can happen when a profession is not regulated from the outside. The lawyer profession, instead of being there exclusively to protect victims from criminals, can now be used by the criminals, as way to commit and cover up crimes. The DOJ was even weaponized against citizens, because the foxes were in charge of the chicken coup. There is no outside regulations, from laymen in other professions, when it comes to the law industry.
Before we further regulate the economy, which is already regulated by layers of laymen, we need to begin to using layman to regulate the legal profession. Lawyering is the only profession, left, that is self regulating. Lawyers are low on the trust scale compared to other professes. Doctors are rated high but are regulated by lawyers via law suits. But doctors cannot regulate the legal profession. This makes no sense. The events over the past few years shows, that you cannot depend on lawyers to police themselves, since you can see what is happening in terms of using legal looking investigations for political purposes.
The way I would change the legal profession, as a layman, is by making a simple change connected to trials and investigations. In a trial, lawyers on both sides do not have to swear an oath to tell the truth. Only the witnesses have to do this. The lawyers have given themselves the room to lie and deceive, during a trial, without any consequences. The judge is there to control the scamming, but if he is biased or political, the scam is still on. This situation is based on self regulation. What would happen if say Adam Schiff was vulnerable to perjury, anytime he used his legal skills to voice an unsubstantiated claim? This one change could mess up most scams and help make the system honest again.
The lack of regulation in the lawyer industry is why businesses need to be regulated in the eyes of many. If a business breaks the law or is being unethical, this position is not defended by economic majors or engineers, whose industries are regulated. This is passed off to the lawyers, who self regulate, and who have the option to use deception, as a legal defense tactic. If we hold the legal feet to the fire, everything self regulates, since the major tool for social injustice is no longer available to big business.
