This is entirely made up? Most people are totally fine with speed limits being what they are and don't say anything about it.
Oh, that explains the massive difference in speed limits from one country to another then, especially if they're next door neighbors.

In the sense that they don't care what the sign says when it comes to their own driving? Sure.

People whose houses are robbed are against robbery, people who rob houses are very much for it.
That’s a false analogy. You have two parties who want to enter into a contract and a third party unrelated to the contract that doesn’t for whatever reason. Just based on contract law and common sense the unrelated party shouldn’t have standing. Now if there’s externalities to the contract that impact that unrelated party sure, but only insofar as to get those externalities addressed. This is not the same as a robber…

Aged accounts, shell companies, it's a market
Not in this context it's not. Companies can't create Polymarket accounts. Polymarket accounts are just email addresses or alternatively crypto wallets. And there's no purpose I can imagine to aging them.
By talking about aged accounts and shell companies, I meant that there's black markets for aged accounts from social media platforms, and there's markets for shell companies (and to some extent warmed up emails). In both cases the age of the company gives it some value, as anyone doing due diligence on the accounts will weigh the age of the account as a positive signal.
Age of an account is a costly signal and significantly slows down Sybil attacks. Spammers pay some cost for aged accounts (even if it's just waiting and holding the inventory) and for defenders it works as a PoW system, they don't need to ignore the age signal, it works just fine.

Your taxi crashes because the driver skipped brake maintenance and his insurance doesn't reimburse you for your hospital costs because commercial transportation isn't covered. Sure would be nice to have some minimum requirements for taxis.
Eh… there’s a point to be made about “enforced low risk tolerance” being a societal issue. Lead in gasoline is bad, but in general I think individuals are perfectly capable of determining whether they are willing to risk a taxi ride.

I'm confused, why would companies be unable to create Polymarket accounts.
