No, plenty of the time they're the ones pushing regulations, or funding the civil suits for slip-ups, because they have the money to afford minor violations and standards upholding as a cost of business and their single-location competitors don't.Walmart gets away with a lot of shit because all it has to say to a politician is 'nice unemployment figures you've got there, it would be a crying shame if something happened to them'.
The issue is that the giant-ass companies tend to have enough weight to get ahold of the blood-soaked pen and just use it to cross out their competitor's bottom line.Here's the thing, every single of those regulations is written the blood of dead workers and citizens. Every. Single. One. All because businesses would rather pull shit like this than do anything for safety because safety cuts into the bottom line.
The core thing you have constantly ignored is that massive centralization of power as needed for what you want has literally always collapsed due to corrupt jackasses wielding it to line their own pocket.
It is exactly this vein of policy-making responsible for "show me the man and I'll show you the crime". It just keeps accreting until you have to turn to anarcho-tyranny to keep things functional because nobody could ever hope to follow every regulation.
At some point, you have to accept that accidents happen and people will be assholes. You cannot stop all of it, you need to focus on the big-picture serious shit that can fuck over everyone. You need to leave some part of it to the population at large.
