Earlier quoted context omitted.

Or, it can remind us why we have Congress in the first place. Another article trending here is talking about what a great power grab it is by the supreme Court, which is true in a sense, but mostly it is saying to the Congress that you actually have to do your job.

Congress did their job. They granted authority to regulatory agencies who are much better equipped to make these sorts of decisions. Regulatory agencies employ scientists and subject matter experts in their relevant fields. Our congresspeople are a mixture of serious people and clowns who are very good at saying outrageous things to get on television. Even the serious people cannot possibly be well-rounded enough to…

Where congress explicitly delegates authority it will be respected and that is not chevron deference, chevron deference means that when a law is ambiguous it means the court should interpret the ambiguity as congress delegating their authority to the regulator within reason.

The examples are so horrendous I thought it was satire. I can’t wait for genome, cryptocurrency, and nuclear power startups to “move fast and break things” and screw up so badly and remind us why we had these regulations to begin with.

This isn't the end of regulation, this is just the end of unelected agencies making up rules as they please. All this changes is that congress has to do their job.
