If you entire job is selling locks and they don’t prevent crime, then it’s not negligent, it’s fraudulent.
You want to be in the clear? Sell a car without a lock, see how many people buy that.
> if kia makes a cheap car with crappy locks either don't buy it
And if Boeing makes a cheap, unsafe plane, don’t fly on it
I would be happy to run this experiment if lying to a customer about safety/properties of your product led to capital punishment. But currently companies will simply defraud you by lying about their product, and suffer no consequence
- gridspy 3y ago> If you entire job is selling locks and they don’t prevent crime Does MasterLock making famously easy to pick / rake locks count? I'm sure they reduce crime compared to no lock but they are not as secure as the customer expects. https://www.art-of-lockpicking.com/how-to-pick-a-master-lock/ https://www.art-of-lockpicking.com/how-to-pick-a-master-lock...

- fargle 3y ago> And if Boeing makes a cheap, unsafe plane, don’t fly on it yes. exactly. if boeing ever makes a cheap plane, i would definitely avoid it. you are comparing a company that cheated on legally mandated safety requirements with a company that didn't put a non-legally required car immobilizer on a lot of their new cars. and then didn't lie about it. > But currently companies will simply defraud you but kia didn't do this
- ClumsyPilot 3y ago> if boeing ever makes a cheap plane, i would definitely avoid it You wouldn’t even know that airline is putting you on such a plane
- fargle 3y agothe point is that boeing might make a good plane or it might make a dangerous plane, but it will never make a cheap plane.
