"hamstrung and bottlenecked", that's called regulation.
- cortesoft 5y agoYeah, back then we didn’t care if lots of people died.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoMost of the incidence of regulatory burden is unrelated to risk to human life.
- frutiger 5y agoWhat makes you say that? I believe most of our modern electrical/clinical/construction/etc. standards have saved many lives.
- _ofdw 5y agoDepends. I work in Aerospace and most of our regulations are written in blood, as they say. I prefer to paraphrase A Few Good Men: "We follow rules, or people die".
- kQq9oHeAz6wLLS 5y agoWell, we cared, but we also understood that death is part of life, and some things are worth the risk. At least worth it to those doing the dangerous jobs. Don't think for a moment these guys didn't know how dangerous their jobs were.
- Railsify 5y agoThat's right. We are not talking about forced labor. Choosing to risk your life to better the lives of your family members and society is part of being part of a community.
