William Smith points to the term NAMBI: Not Against My Business/Industry. As opposed to NIMBY (Not In My Backyard), NAMBI is "used as a label for any business concern that expresses umbrage with actions or policy that threaten that business, whereby they are believed to be complaining about the principle of the action or policy only for their interests alone and not for all similar business concerns who would equally suffer from the actions or policies. The term serves as a criticism of the kind of outrage that business expresses when disingenuously portraying its protest to be for the benefit of all other businesses." So think restaurants complaining abut taco trucks, dentists complaining about dental hygienists filling cavities, doctors shutting out nurse practitioners, and all those other high-minded moments when competition is squelched due to the high-minded concerns of those who wish to avoid competing.
