you nailed it, i just got done posting a reply to this article and refreshed the page and saw the truth of the matter. we are as a collective society are not thinking about safety in the right light. a lot of it has to do with an old outdated ideology of “doggie dog world” which reeks of scarcity

Not that it takes anything from your point, but the idiom as I've heard is "dog-eat-dog world"

The US is stuck in a scarcity mindset in a lot of things IMO. It worked fantastically when materials/technology was actually scarce in the world. Now that mechanization and automation have made so many of these things not-scarce, the US is having a hard time removing the rent-seekers and individualist-affordances that cropped up during the times of scarcity. Car safety culture is just one aspect of that.
