The vaccine rollout where the FDA effectively stopped doing any semblance of review of safety and efficacy and pushed an approval of a novel therapeutic injection through in less than a year.
I think Elon is someone who wants to do good work that he can take pride in who would continue to do good work if the FAA didn't exist at all. But there are also a lot of people who just want to push slop through the process to make a quick buck. Unfortunately the regulatory system we have treats people like Elon the same as the people who just want to push slop.
But if you get rid of it so people like Elon can be unleashed, that doesn't mean there doesn't still need to be a way to discourage the people who want to push slop from hurting people with their slop and punish them when they do.
Unfortunately the only political options we are presented with are egalitarian solutions: the Reps want to unleash everyone like Elon should be unleashed, and the Dems want to put everyone on the same sort of leash as should be put on a slop-pusher.
Not being an egalitarian, I think we should use judgment as to whether someone should be on a leash or not.
Agreed but if you get rid of regulations you need to replace them with something that actually punishes people and organizations who cause harm.
If you don't do that then you get the 2020 vaccine rollout.
The vaccine rollout that was enforced by OSHA?
