> We rely on the restaurant not serving bad food because of regulation.
I don't think you can rely on that being the only reason a restaurant doesn't serve bad food. I think it's better if they are motivated to serve good food rather than being afraid of being punished for serving bad food.
> So to be clear, we rely on other people and other people doing things for us all the time, so the discussion is not about relying on other people, but in this case what are work conditions which are acceptable.
I am not clear whether this negates your previous two sentences or not. I agree with this statement in isolation though!
- bpfrh 5y agoHmmm, maybe I had bad examples, my point was that we rely a lot in our daily life that other people do their job right and that even if they don't there will be checks in place that catch problems. We even rely on organizations and parties to lobby for our interests. So we kind of accept that we need to rely on other people. I probably should have said "We relay that the people in the restaurant know how to cook and keep their ingriedients clean and fresh and we rely on checks that catches mistakes"?
- pksebben 5y ago> we even rely on organizations and parties to lobby for our interests. This may be some of the cultural divide that's flummoxing this conversation. In the US, many if not most of us have lost faith that this process is even remotely reliable. We have studies that back this up - policy decisions are made in favor of the wealthy very reliably, but for the rest of us, it's luck of the draw when we get what we want.
