Sure. I donā€™t think anybody is arguing that there is any country that couldnā€™t give their regulations a once-over and improve things by removing a few counter-productive ones here and there.

Thatā€™s not what American style libertarians are actually arguing when they say they want deregulation though, is it?

Thatā€™s generally the type of thing libertarians get upset about. Or shit like floral licensing or cracking down on people braiding hair (this is generally black people, obviously) or the bazillion other types of regulatory capture. Farm subsidies and ethanol mandates/fuel subsidies are also a shitshow.

Exactly! Libertarians point to one regulation that isnā€™t working and push total deregulation. Why not just fix that one regulation? No, absolute deregulation is the only answer.
