“it was legal when i bought it, so it’s legal now!”
- ghaff 2y agoMore like it was legal when someone originally bought it. (With some caveats.)
- Scoundreller 2y agoBetter than aviation: "it was legal when we got it approved it, so it's legal to manufacture now!" (decades later) (I like the discussion about this example: https://www.flightglobal.com/airbus-challenges-737-grandfather-allowance/16468.article https://www.flightglobal.com/airbus-challenges-737-grandfath... )
- winrid 2y agoMany things are this way. The number of houses in the silicon valley that still have knob and tube wiring is kind of hilarious. Can't build new houses with it, but grandfathered in until you have to make changes.
