I disagree, with your wording at least. Safety is generally prioritized everywhere as a key goal.
It is just that if you live in rural India and are part of the 10% of the population that has no access to clean water Cholera is much more likely to kill you than an reckless driver.
Focusing on securing water in these regions is prioritizing safety. People are smart to focus on things more likely to kill them.
- et-al 10y agoYeah, I agree my original wording could have been better. However, I think both of us are in agreement that if you were that person in a developing country, you'd chance drinking potentially infected water over dehydrating. Just as one would work for pennies at a sketchy job site instead of not working and not being able to buy food at the end of the day. And going back to the original discussion, automobile accidents are an abstraction, a probable cause of death, versus something more definite like starvation.
