Who do you think was making money when all those safety and environmental compliance solutions got all but written into law?
If you think the ruling class isn't making money coming and going I've got a bridge to sell you.
> infiltrated the government
That's an awfully emotionally charged way to phrase "lobbied in the same way that everyone else does". When a matter of geopolitical interest that's consuming a significant fraction of the national economy is being impeded by the current regulations it seems entirely expected that the government would start making changes. If anything refusing to make changes under those circumstances would be truly bizarre.
Sure at present they also have a substantially more sympathetic admin than usual but that's the current climate that everyone is working in.
