https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_vIj2maqrQ most of these disasters could have been avoided with regulations

2018-09-07 00:35:30 UTC  

thing is, after a disaster, people don't even usually know why a disaster happens

2018-09-07 00:36:15 UTC  

without regulations, people would probably lose trust in super marts before the invisible hand of the market decides to make things safer

2018-09-07 00:36:25 UTC  

Regulations are just a state monopoly on the insurance industry

2018-09-07 00:36:43 UTC  

well i think lack of safety regulations would make for a more primitive culture

2018-09-07 00:36:48 UTC  

because no one would trust technology

"This bridge collapsed. Why even have super long bridges? They just kill people."

2018-09-07 00:37:28 UTC  

Who says a lack? Whole Foods has a more stringent, and accurate farm-to-table Organic certification than the USDA could ever hope to acheive

*Because people pay for it.*

2018-09-07 00:37:57 UTC  

people pay for super long bridges? well, then they collapse

2018-09-07 00:38:01 UTC  

so people would stop paying

2018-09-07 00:38:02 UTC  

heh

2018-09-07 00:38:07 UTC  

Underwriters Laboratories certifies all your electronics

2018-09-07 00:38:28 UTC  

electronics? there's a lot of parties interested in reliable electonics

2018-09-07 00:38:31 UTC  

electronics*

2018-09-07 00:38:38 UTC  

rich people included

2018-09-07 00:38:47 UTC  

so yeah i can see the invisible hand working really fast in that market

2018-09-07 00:38:52 UTC  

thats a fast market anyway

2018-09-07 00:38:54 UTC  

There are rich parties invested in everything

2018-09-07 00:39:08 UTC  

bridges don't make profit tho

2018-09-07 00:39:11 UTC  

unless they're tolled

2018-09-07 00:39:25 UTC  

and even then, there's a lot of error in innovation, like you saw in the video

2018-09-07 00:39:37 UTC  

There's no market incentive for something, when the state subsidizes their own monopoly and makes it impossible to create a competitive market.

2018-09-07 00:40:29 UTC  

ok

2018-09-07 00:40:33 UTC  

I can think of a free market alternative right now

2018-09-07 00:40:39 UTC  

to building codes that is

2018-09-07 00:41:39 UTC  

Insurance providers could require that a building engineer inspect the premises and give the building a "rating" (like a health inspector) and display the rating in the front window

2018-09-07 00:42:50 UTC  

how would they find someone to do that

2018-09-07 00:42:57 UTC  

What?

2018-09-07 00:43:51 UTC  

why would insurance providers fuck your dad, that's not very professional of them

2018-09-07 00:44:03 UTC

2018-09-07 00:44:29 UTC

2018-09-07 00:44:34 UTC  

filled with cold cut salamis

2018-09-07 00:44:40 UTC  

i needed insurance

2018-09-07 00:44:41 UTC  

what then

2018-09-07 00:44:46 UTC  

where's the invisible hand of the market fucker

2018-09-07 00:44:52 UTC  

What's a meat spinner?
