oh goody! Unelected regulators and big government as our saviors. They've done so much to earn our trust that we can relax if they embed themselves further than they already have with big tech.

The actual power of these tech giants lies in the exclusivity of their trade. In other words, unless you are someone who possesses a thorough knowledge and understanding of the inner-workings of the technology sector, all its lingo, ins and outs, they’ve pretty much got you over a barrel and can merely fast talk you into looking like an idiot, not to mention tell you one thing while doing quite another. They live and operate in a rarefied atmosphere and only someone with the same ability to move and breathe in that same atmosphere is going to be able to catch them at their game.

There is no one currently like that - or anywhere near it - in any government.
