You should not take the "misery loves company" approach. Laws like these are designed to raise the bar for competition into a market. They aren't designed to "protect consumers". They are designed by a combination of bureaucrats who have never run a business, or created any kind of service or product, and representatives of the largest players in a market who are motivated to stop new start ups and other competition. If these laws are about "protecting consumers", nallow the consumers to "protect" themselves if they want to, by shopping at franchises. I believe in free association. If you think that these laws are increasing your cost of doing business, then fight to have them removed! Don't just fight make everyone else have to pay that extra cost for no reason also!
