Just a comment, when did regulation of the waste disposal industry occur?
Around the same time that Civil Rights was in full swing? While the Civil
Rights laws were necesary for the most part, politicos used that momentum to
suck into the government's grip things which had no reason to be there.
"For a good cause," - yes, but the industries and the consumers who use them
have suffered (have been ~infringed~) from that kind of legislation and
politicking. Even good legislation infringes on some, when it never should.
