    NHTSA hasn’t had a permanent director in years.

    I think NHTSA had a director for like… 2 or 3 months in 2022. But before that, it was blocked in the Senate. And before-before that, it was Elaine Chao’s Department of Transportation and she was incredibly anti-regulation.

    Step 1 is that the citizens need to recognize what has happened to the federal apparatus. We’ve gutted our own government and safety regulators. Not just NHTSA, but also SEC, FTC, etc. etc. The anti-regulators / libertarians have the momentum with regards to laws in the past decade, and this is the natural result.
