Many blame investors when prices surge and conditions deteriorate, yet the populist remedies they propose—restricting markets, imposing caps, limiting capital flows—tend to backfire. These anti-market interventions historically aggravate scarcity and push problems underground rather than solve them. The irony: the very policies meant to help ordinary people often end up hurting them most.

Isn't this a classic case of policy backlash? The more regulations there are, the more loopholes appear, and in the end, it's the retail investors who suffer.

Well said, regulation will only become more chaotic; history has proven this many times.

Once regulatory measures are implemented, the black market takes off. I really can't understand this logic.

In plain terms, the more regulation, the more problems there are. This trick has long been played out.

That old-fashioned control approach is outdated, and as a result, ordinary people are getting hammered even more.
