            It’s not hard, but it is expensive. So why not fake it and pocket the difference? It’s not like that would literally kill people

            It’s not necessarily about difficulty. It’s mostly about risk and consequences. If a company fucks up the screws I buy to hang up pictures, I might get a dent in my floor or a bigger hole in my wall. If a company fucks up the screws keeping a plane together, it might fall out of the sky.

        I don’t know why you’re getting down voted. Overregulation is crazy, I was watching this interview by the CEO of this company that explores the ocean named Stockton Rush, and he has the same argument that the government needed to stop regulating so much. I should look him up, I’m not sure what happened to him…

        I think they are aiming for quality vs quantity. Flying is the safest way to travel long distances because of those regulations.

        All regulation is written in blood. If there was no regulation, everyone would be cutting corners and we’d get daily titan submersible-like situations.

        Do you want a piece of suspension up your ass because a cab driver hit a road bump too hard?

        Do you want your legs amputated? Because we can make bumpers go lower and more pointy to improve fuel efficiency.

        If manufacturers could, they’d drop the catalytic converter and we’d be back to seeing/breathing cars spewing thick black smoke.

        All that and they would still charge you the same as now.
