The system is very much not working. The original max issue that caused the deaths of over 300 people were due to Boeing being allowed to self certify the Max with MCAS. The FAA just greenlit Boeing to continue self certifying.

More people will die because the FAA prioritizes the profits of airlines and Boeing above their regulatory duty to certify new aircraft.
