just once I'd like to see an article like this point out that the current administration lobotomized all cybersecurity regulators and organizations because large companies didn't want even rudimentary oversight

The dismantling of CISA by the current administration made no sense to me at all - I don't see how this fit into their principles or values. I'd hold all organizations (public and private) accountable for good cyber security practices similar to financial.

these are extremists who genuinely don't want even the most rudimentary government oversight, and they lack the foresight to understand this level of extremism hurts them and the markets longer term

I get that but, what's the reason for the inconsistency - why push increased regulation by the fcc, exercise in the military, gov led drug marketplace and at the same time, deregulation of cyber security, FDA, increase in other areas - just to create turmoil to distract form the true intent?

I think the inconsistency is part of the program. The principles (imho) the current admin gets from leadership is 1) never admit mistakes 2) keep 'opposition' randomized 3) focus on $Base support in media. 4) transactional in all areas. 5) alignment as a requirement.
