Yeah, it's amazing how one can make a lot more money by violating health and safety regulations. Upton Sinclair did a great piece about how amazing it is.

- fennecfoxen 14y agoYour comment is incredibly relevant and insightful because the world is black and white and our current regime, which is perfect, is all that stands between us and _The Jungle_. So-called "sensible" reforms to hotel-related legislation and economic freedom in general will only doom us all to accidental cannibalism in our hamburgers. Seriously, this is flippin' AirBnB, not the slaughterhouse industry. I only asked you to think about the costs, not to roll everything back. Is this a knee-jerk reaction to straw-man arguments which you happen to imagine coming from your least-favorite Republicans, or what?
- Locke1689 14y agoYou criticized regulation in general so I criticized lack of regulation in general. It's not a hard leap. If you want a more closely related set of laws, look at tenement housing. The Jungle was not the only example of an industry that badly needed reform.
