You've got all this to come Skull if you want deregulation.
“All this” as you put it, is about giving away control over your trade to autocratic councillors. We either get together collectively where everyone is equal under the same banner, or we hand everything over to our Lords and Masters. It's got absolutely nothing to do with de-restriction but everything to do with taking control for ourselves, together we are stronger. You dictate our own identity, your own status and your own self-worth in this life. Don't expect anyone else to do it for you, least of all your political leaders.
A restricted trade is a divided trade with everyone feeding off each other. We have never advocated “deregulation” as you put it. We want, de-restriction with more regulation and stringent quality controls. The trade needs to evolve, and if that means years in the desert, through a de-restricted market, then so be it. If we can't take control for ourselves then we deserve nothing less.
The begging bowl mentality has got to stop. If you take the fight to them, eventually, they will have to give you what you want.

You can't help people who don't want your help. They have resigned themselves to the fact that they are going to be suspended for one month.
