Death squads going out and punching people to get them into hospitals? Probably not.
Lowering safety/emissions/etc standards in ways that both lead to increased immediate profit and (hopefully unintentionally) causes an increase in injuries over time? Absolutely.
- Retric 4y agoThere is a balance between worker safety and productivity. Even the CCP who cares about human rights about as much as a shark is still trying to reduce pollution to some degree because the current level is a net negative on GDP. As such even your example is really about productivity not simply using healthcare to boost GDP.
