- colinmhayes 5y agoNot really... If the market saw an opportunity to make money by defecting from a commonly accepted norm that isn't enforced by law there are people who would be willing to implement the defection for the right price.
- Barrin92 5y agoThere is absolutely zero incentive for any of those people in power to do anything about it. They work in one of the best paying industries on earth, they financially stand to benefit from the very things that ought to be regulated. How do you think anyone reigned in the tobacco industry? Everyone in the industry just went, "well I hate coffers full of money, let's stop working here" ? That's what governmental authority exists for. The idea that the foxes polices themselves while they have all the keys to the henhouse is comical.

"The tragedy of the commons" is a well-known terms that means, "given the keys to the henhouse, the foxes are not able to police themselves well enough to keep themselves from starving" - and this doesn't even begin to consider the interests of hens.
