My head hurts with all this stuff, honestly.
I don't think you can "tear down" an agency and build it back up, it's not like a vintage car or something.
I don't think the FDA's gonna do perfect enforcement but yes, if you have a significant base in another country and/or only sell in the USA and don't want to be fined/jailed/whatever, well those folks are gonna self-police.
The FDA will do a reasonably incompetent job of policing, although you just NEVER know when the tobacco lobby is involved. They are certainly autocratic enough to shut down a TON of places if/when they WANT.
