Not sure if English is your first language, but the meaning of the sentence you quoted is straightforward, so I'm not sure why you're extrapolating American chauvinism from what I wrote. The scope of my comments is explicitly limited to the US.
FWIW, European enforcement is supposed to be much better but that's outside of my firsthand domain knowledge.
- stephenr 10y agoEnglish is indeed my first language, but I don't know where you're from, and many claims along the lines of "X doesn't work" from an American view point, are in my experience, intended as "X doesn't work anywhere" - the scope of the author's experience/knowledge is irrelevant (see: health care, gun control, government in general, banking/finance regulation, etc)
- leroy_masochist 10y agoOK, that's all fine and true, but it has nothing to do with what I wrote.
- dopamean 10y agoI think you're seeing something you want to see rather than actually seeing what he wrote. None of that has anything to do with what he said.
- burkaman 10y agoBut the line you quoted includes "in the US". How is it possible to be any more clear? It doesn't even say the standards don't work, it says there aren't any standards in the US.
