Um....we've done this before. We've literally done this before.

That submarine that imploded? There were safety regulations at play that normally would've prevented the event, but thanks to legal shenanigans by the company to make the dive possible you ended up having the submarine and its passengers dooming itself/themselves. I can't recall the issues specifically, but basically the company found a way around the legality by giving a different classification to the passengers than 'passenger'.

There's a reason safety regulations exist, and it's not some silly slogan like 'to keep the people on a leash!' or whatever. We've literally done the whole 'sidestepping safety regulations' bit before, and it has consequences.

If you want to fix 'whatever stands in the way', demand that SpaceX make their stuff work within safety regulations; people's lives literally depend on it.
