    At this point my biggest hope for the Trump administration is for some “Happy Accidents” that wouldnt happen in a safety oriented world. We might make some really cool discoveries that we otherwise wouldnt make because so much wild shit is going to happen that statistically speaking some of them have to be positive.

        Take gutting the FDA for example.

        Developing drugs is EXPENSIVE. If that gets a whole lot cheaper (and far more unsafe) they might actually look at developing some drugs that wouldnt have been likely to have a good ROI before but might now.

        Its not impossible that massive deregulation could lead to advancements.
