Regulations when you like them…anarchy when you don’t. Can’t work like that.
Government laws & regulations did nothing to stop Boeing or it's subsidiaries from delivering defective aircraft.
In fact the same regulations had A LOT to do with it in preventing any real competition with Boeing to gain from Boeing's poor management culture and choices. Which otherwise would have driven the company out of business or into reform several decades ago.
You might have noticed that Boeing doesn't make cheap aircraft or spaceships nor does it do it quickly. The modern Boeing company is very much a Government enterprise built around chasing contracts with politically distributed manufacturing and policies to appeal to the politicians who issue said contracts.
This causes Boeing Jets just like her space craft to cost astronomically more than they should and take forever to develop. It also forced Boeing to put far too large a set of engines on the 737 for "efficiency" reasons rather than simply build a new plane. As well as out-souse the software to an ill-prepared Indian team (for political favors ) who screwed it up.
News Flash Boeing is basically a goverment sponsored and protected enterprise at this point, has been for decades.

No, no. We must leave it all to private industry because they care so much about public welfare...

I don’t think many people are advocating for NO government, just less
Not only is it NOT bad it is a necessary force for good. Capitalism is the BEST economic system ever devised but needs monitoring and intervention; that's where government comes in.
so you think that without regulations, planes would just start dropping from the skies? Would Boeing survive as a company if no one would trust their planes, and the survivors and relatives of the deceased after accidents were constantly suing them?
That's not actually a part of needing government, sunny,
Boeing did those things for profit - not to get back at government.
How has the government prevented Boeing from murdering these whistleblowers, exactly?
The problem with Boeing is that government FAILED. The FAA allowed Boeing to "self certify" on many, many, issues. Government was not doing it's job.
Sounds like an X-File.
