1. It’s probably correct? The US is a very large single market
2. From some quarters the US does come across as being fairly laissez-faire
3. The scale of predatory economic activity in an otherwise highly developed economy is(?) unmatched
4. Penalties seem to be a cost of business rather than genuine attempts at deterrent
5. The general appearance of a lack of accountability
But, I’m just looking on from afar, and I’m sure the media advances the hyperbole.
