So, presumably the EPA, FAA, etc. were able to do their jobs in some way prior to the Chevron decision in 1984. Is this sending us to a worse place than, say, they were in 1983, or is it just like a rollback to that era?

It is decidedly not a return to pre-Chevron. In the case, Reagan’s EPA wanted to misread the Clean Air Act to be less protective than written. SCOTUS deferred to EPA’s reading. Now SCOTUS is saying no deference after all. Which means any regulation from here out is up to the courts.

I would say worse, since science denial is rampant, christofascists are in control, there is no agreement on the benefit of protecting society or the earth, and there is zero ability to pass substantive new laws. But I would love to be wrong.
