So FCA regulation of CPAP machines just gets in the way of people getting what they need?
How about Philips Respironics have to recall something like 15 million CPAP devices in 2021 because they contained foam liable to disintegrate and which the user would then inhale...
- autoexec 2y agoYeah, if anything that showed we need more regulation and even more importantly a better justice system. They knew their devices were going to cause cancer and kill people, and they not only continued to sell their devices, but they went out of their way to try to hide the facts from the public so that they could continue to kill as many people as possible. The people at Philips Respironics were/are literal serial killers. Their product has been linked to hundreds of deaths, but not one person spent even a single day in jail.
- hooverd 2y agoEh, we need better regulation. Regulation proponents should distinguish between bullshit hoops that only the big boys can jump through vs targeted regulations that prevent this kind of thing from happening.
- autoexec 2y agoYou're right. Regulations are critically important, but they're just tools and they can be used for evil or good depending on what they're doing and whose interests they serve.
