      That’s exactly the context I was hoping for. We have the regulations on the books, we just need to actually enforce them.

      Indeed. An easy and straightforward method of regulatory capture is to convince politicians that the regulations just don’t need to be enforced. “The rules are fair! We totally agree to them! Now, just let us police ourself, which you know we’ll do a good job of because we agreed with your rules!”
