I know I’m not the only one who feels like I’m getting visually assaulted everytime I drive at night. It was bad 10 years ago but now, it seems like headlight manufacturers have a deal with insurance companies and optometrists to make the lights as bright as possible. Is this ever going to stop or is there some kind of race in the headlight industry to see who can reproduce the power of the sun first?

      My apologies.

      Deregulation happened completely randomly in a vacuum like a decaying lump of a radioactive element with no cause.

      In all seriousness though… yes, ALL changes happen in a sea of social, economic, and political factors, but someone pulls the trigger, and it’s fair to point at the gunman.

      That’s because a significant amount of the regulatory agency leadership is appointed by the executive and follows their policy priorities?
