Government regulations today, at least in the U.S. and the UK, are a fraction of what they used to be in the post WW 20th century.

Government regulations have been getting weaker pretty much my entire living memory.



Except for the things that most affect common Americans. Like how most housing has onerous zoning and code requirements, banking has kyc/AML and reporting, OSHA controls our work conditions, kids families can be investigated for practicing age appropriate child independence, and family law now often essentially makes the higher earner a slave on a short leash to jail if their spouse divorces them.

I would take post WW by a long shot.
