Like I mentioned in another comment, people are refusing to accept increasing worse outcomes (at least in pedestrian safety).
Additionally, I’d wager most reasonable people are willing to accept the unavoidable risks of driving. However, many car collisions involve people taking risks that are not necessary to transport themselves from A to B (speeding, drinking, texting, failing to indicate turn). Breaking traffic laws aren’t crimes of necessity, or borne of poverty, it just people refusing to think about how their shitty actions effect others.
Society is completely complacent to bad driving behavior. The whole zero risk thing is a straw intended to shit down the conversation
- iammisc 5y ago> speeding, drinking, texting, failing to indicate turn Are these not already against the law? BY no means am I asking to repeal these sensible laws. Also, I dunno what I'd wager any more. I used to think that people would not accept being forced to hand over personal medical information to enter a location to prevent a disease with an incredibly low deathrate for most of the population and with an incredibly low deathrate for the remainder of the population with a freely available drug, but everybody else seems to think this is normal. Or like, after 9/11, I thought having your nudes photographed by the government to enter an airplane would be considered a gross violation of privacy, but now having a pornographic photoshoot / assault is considered totally normal at the airport. It seems to me people are increasingly willing to trade freedom for 'security'.
