You have to check out their incredible safety investigation videos on youtube. I don't know how well-organized or efficient they are but clearly their role needs to be played by someone - and as a taxpayer I appreciate that they are doing it in a way that educates and informs.

They're 50 employees with an annual budget of $14.4 million. The cost/benefit ratio here is very good.

For that trivial amount this has to be anti-tech anti-science thinking at work.

What's this administration trying do, return the US to the Third World or the Dark Ages? Madness.

what I would like to say:

yes,

specifically some modern form of feudalism I guess

where the new nobles (as in large companies because in US companies are people) can mostly do whatever they want and the rest of the population is struggling enough to just "get by" to find time to change anything

but given that Trump put since deniers and anti-vaccers into power it's probably a much more "dump" reason
