I kind of do have that faith. Sean Duffy's reality TV career hasn't really hampered the transportation agencies

I think staff at the agencies as well as industry staff are very passionate about what they do in their respective domains, and even with the agency heads being industry plans or uncredentialed susceptible to regulatory capture, I still think I can appreciate the willingness to revisit old prohibitions in combination with modern advances.

The same Sean Duffy who took a vacation paid for by the companies he regulates? (https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2026/05/13/...). I expect that guy to put enrich "Sean Duffy" as priorities #1, #2, and #3.
I think I covered all of that with my mention of regulatory capture and you were waiting for any conversation that mentions him to post that
If only the staff at the regulating agencies were there. I think they got a dose of DOGE last year.
None of this implies any revisit will be done with the citizen in mind.
