I just don't like to see the government adding all the regulations and significant costs (those systems aren't cheap) as a knee jerk reaction to tragedies. 

Like the government did with physical gold in the thirties, and the Canadian government is doing now. 

I'm very surprised that the government has no regulation on this!

I will say though, based on every point you've tried to make before this your credibility and ability to tell if a PM is good or not is incredibly questionable.

The government does. 

And it will be a big asset when building credible relationships.

Its a process and a government process at that so be prepared for that.

I want to start a nonprofit eventually to help the poor in the USA & other countries, and I'm considering using my own money or receiving government funds instead of relying on donations from people unless they're just rich ****s.

-Is the team credible?

I'm fine paying my fare share of taxes, but the government incentivizes us to do what it wants us to do - buy real estate, by giving us tax breaks.
