Government bureaucrats will never be able to make decisions like business owners make every day. They don’t have skin in the game. Decisions don’t cost them money, they aren’t risking their houses, they don’t exactly risk their jobs, and to the people who are actually affected, the bureaucrats are faceless.

But as long as there are government bureaucrats, they are going to make decisions that affect businesses of all structures and sizes. From a public policy perspective, should those decisions be made with more information or less? Should the faceless bureaucrat understand the effects of their decisions, or just ignore them?
