I think there's a seachange in sentiment reflected in this thread that says these norms should be revised.
- _heimdall 3y agoI'll be very happy if that's a broad sentiment reaching beyond HN. Our regulatory agencies are worse for all of us when they're owned and operated by industry. A peaceful change seems really, really tricky. Its so much easier to create regulations than remove them. Congress would have to ignore industry money and want to push through change, these agencies would have to be rebuilt from the ground up, and industry would have to deal with all the churn without cracking our economy since GDP and employment numbers seem to be the only things that really matter to our executive branch.
