Are the FRA regulators similar to the oil derrick inspectors, pretty much in the pocket of the industry they are supposed to be regulating?   I'm just guessing, but pretty sure a lot of industries figure out win/win for the inspected and inspectors.   It's most often mutual collusion.

It's tough being a regulator/cop on industry.   It's take some serious leadership to keep the public needs in balance with industry needs.

Power wins.   It isn't always a good thing.          Was in 'natural law' that the school bully was the strongest and nastiest guy in the class, ergo, it's OK if he takes the little kids money?    Is it natural economic law, that a competitor can buy influence that allows them to dominate competitors?

Just putting a word in for regulation.   I've been bashing it most of the night.   I think it's essential to fair markets,   There is a lot of ways to catch the 'rule breakers' these days.  Daily masses of signed papers - by those being inspected,  isn't enough.
