I wouldn't want one of my kids working in an unsafe environment. I don't think you would either. Just as I do not want the poor air quality of the 70s to come back. I don't want lead in my water. I blame government if they do not enforce restrictions, and I blame industry for not following them. We are not going to be competitive as long as China is willing to flush their environment down the toilet, and treat their workers like chattel slaves. And why would we want that for the American people?? Having said all that, I agree the paperwork is a nightmare. That needs changed ... instead of the attitude of 'you must have permission to do this', the approach should be 'go ahead and do what you want, but if something goes wrong and we find you did not verify environmental impacts or OSHA regs we will sue you for real $$$. That approach fits better with how we do things in this country. It's what we've been following for all things software, which is why we are quite able to develop and build great things quickly in this part of the market. It should be up to each company to be willing to take risks if they choose.
- tastyfreeze 2y agoYou contradicted yourself and offered a solution that works in all cases. "Do what you want but you will be sued if something goes wrong". The problem with almost all of our regulations is that you have to prove you are compliant by satisfying inspectors before you can even start.
- jaybrendansmith 2y agoI'm gonna have to agree with that. It should always be based on 'Ask for forgiveness, but not for permission'.
