A million hours is over a century. One death per million hours is substantially better than natural attrition.
You going to shut down every factory where someone has a stroke?
The point is that in a world of natural variation and risk, we draw a line somewhere and call the other side unacceptable and this side acceptable.
What we have presently is no line at all for foreign vessels; I happen to agree that it would be better to have the US one.

- danielheath 4y agoSure, those specific numbers suck - point well made. Is one death per 10,000 careers too many? One in a million? No regulatory scheme short of "no goods may be transported anywhere" is going to create the latter outcome, so you can either accept that a line must be drawn or accept that anyone who doesn't live on a farm must starve.
