This will not scale. Next, industries will want to be compensated to add filters to not pollute rivers. Car makers will want to be compensated for doing safe cars. Supermarkets will want to be compensated for having to check customers age before selling alcohol or tobacco. Etc.
To follow the law is part of doing business. If the law is unreasonable or it is a problem with the law or it is a problem with the business model.
- dclowd9901 7y agoYou're glossing right over what's happening here. Customs is expecting FedEx to _enforce_ law. Not comply with it, enforce it. Preventing a package from crossing the border on a legality basis is not the responsibility of any private entity in the United States. We have official agencies who act in that capacity and have authority to do so. So, no, it is nothing like putting seatbelts in cars or not polluting rivers. Equivalent would be forcing car makers to ensure customers wear their seatbelts or companies keep rivers at a certain level of pollution (regardless of their complicity in its pollution).
