Bingo, @Chris Prophet.

I am sure there is a term for this, but it seems that government bureaucracies have this odd tendency, over time, to create the very problems they intended to solve.

We saw this with NEPA, the FDA, and now the FAA. By preventing experimentation and killing competition, we make the world less safe, not more. I mentioned this in “The Invisible Graveyard” as well: https://www.lianeon.org/p/when-risk-aversion-kills

It just so happens that these agencies always clamor for more funding to solve it.

Systems tend to complexity until they collapse under their own weight. However, when that happens it leaves fertile ground for healthy new growth. Looking forward to seeing supple space authority more consonate with the industry.
