People like you hate this because when consumers empower themselves through being politically active citizens- it makes it hard for you to maximize profit by keeping the consumer ignorant and shelling out snake oil.

Do you understand the very simple concept of competition? How in the hell is this supposed to counter the point of voluntary transactions?
