My write-up on the recent LA bus stop fiasco
- bombcar 3y agoThe obvious solution (go to low regulation low trust) is likely impossible because of how rich we are.
- PaulHoule 3y agoIn some sense U.S. regulation is the best in the world in that we’ve led on many health and safety issues such as suppressing tobacco smoking, nutritional labeling, airbags in cars, airplanes, etc.

- angarg12 3y agoThanks for writing this, I like the trust/regulation mental model. I can also use it to explain my experiences as a European immigrant in the US. One of the biggest differences I feel is how belligerent and litigious American society is. Would you say this is one of the causes of this outcome? (i.e. when people are worried about being sued, they'd do the smallest and safest thing possible). Anyway it'd be great to read more posts on this topic, and see examples of cultures you consider low trust/low regulation.
- kika 3y agoNot exactly fiasco. Some smart ppl spent $300k to jetset across the world for "research". They definitely do not consider that a fiasco!
