re: #125 Mosh

Fair enough. I’m just warning you that “allow them to compete across state lines!” sounds great and libertarian and all, but what it really means— as it did in the case of the credit card companies— is that the companies would locate themselves in the state with the weakest consumer protections. Also, unless you had a federal law forcing states to adopt some sort of related regulations, most companies wouldn’t bother selling across state lines unless they got that benefit of lawsuit protection, since creating packages that fit all states regulations would be an enormous hassle. It’d probably be easier to just keep it the same as it is now, for them.
