Companies are allowed to decide what safeguards to implement without the government telling them what to do. The companies inevitably cut corners to save a few bucks and ship dangerous defective products which result in many people being injured or killed. This provokes a class action suit which, though hardly devastating, costs the company a settlement larger than the amount saved by cutting corners in the first place, and so the same nutters who believe in "self-regulation" immediately start screaming "TORT REFORM!" So they pass tort reform that makes it all but impossible to sue companies for defective products and the injuries they cause, which gives them greater incentive to cut corners, which results in more defective products and more injuries and death, but this is not a problem because human life isn't actually worth anything anyway. Even the 1% aren't worth anything as humans; their value is limited to the funds they control, but it doesn't matter because they can afford to get their products from companies that are subject to real regulations. |
