I'm surprised no one else noticed that this is a submarine article for Anduril and called it out. "Sean's Substack" was created 2 days ago (at the time of writing this comment) and has just this one article, no history to establish credibility either.
The main story is about Manna, an Irish company, but that doesn't help the US itself as they aren't made in the US. The article is advocating for a similar regulatory regime as Manna (and presumably others) have received in Ireland here in the US, and then name drops Anduril near the end.
Anduril's current business is to become part of the military industrial complex, but if regulations are changed they could shift their production towards commercial projects and expand their business.

- moregrist 2y agoI tend to think that it’s not too much to ask a company to engage in transparent advocacy as opposed to astroturfing.
- Braxton1980 2y agoWhat evidence exists to show FAA regulations are hampering innovation?
- Jtsummers 2y agoDo they need to be rewritten? And if they do, is a thought piece by someone with no prior connection or history in aviation the person to make the case for it?
