LOL, are you for real? Have you seen construction codes? This stuff happens all over the world and in places with solid democracies. Turns out safety and efficiency need to be mandated because the free market will kill people with 0 remorse and the average person has ~0 market power. Progress is many people working together, through ever more complex communal initiatives such as corporations, NGOs and yes, government.

> Turns out safety and efficiency need to be mandated In a solid democracy making real progress, the onus is on the one introducing the regulation to prove that safety and efficiency will in fact be advanced via said regulation. I don't think that bar is passed here.
