    Just pointing out that perhaps the larger philosophy of broad deregulation maybe isn’t such a great idea

      But that’s not the case here.

      There isn’t any regulation of commercial submersibles like there is for ground or air. Anywhere around the world. So the “de” of deregulation is not applicable.

      Should there be regulation? Yeah absolutely, if submersibles are going to be a thing. But that’s just called regulation.

        i think they are trying to say this is a perfect example of where things will head if we continue with deregulating industry as republicans think we should. where your boss can say “fuck safety i wanna make more money and if a few people are killed or injured well thats the cost of doing business.”

          Bingo. I’ve been to lots of countries with far fewer safety regulations than the US, and can we please stop fetishizing the cheapening of human life and well-being for profit in the US? Please? We came out of that phase in our development for good reasons.
