The regulations here are generally sane - the retraining requirement for a new plane is an unavoidable necessity.
Boeing tried to game the regulations, and because of cuts the regulator didn't have the manpower to catch them.
Classic "starve the beast" - cut funding to government so it fucks up, then claim government is incompetent and so should be smaller.

Had more pilots retrained specifically for the 737 MAX (rather than on older 737 simulators or test flight 737 vehicles that airlines had lying around from earlier models), a larger alarm would have been rang before problems were experienced in the wild at the worst possible time (when people's lives are endangered).
