Maybe they'll just adapt so that they can survive being run over. In a million years, the common grey squirrel will look like a furry flounder.
Regulatory Capture results in regulators being captured.
Yes, but they don't offer links to this particular article, so what it doesn't matter what the regulator status of said article is. It's like complaining Nokia isn't hiring enough meat inspectors for their cellphone plants.
If you are a company that offers something
Except in this case it's a company that doesn't offer something.
