The airlines and the FAA have been reducing seat size and weight for "safety reasons". 21" width minimum required in 1995 only 18" width in 2025. These seat requirements directly corrolate to fuel cost savings, and passenger density. Simple statistical manipulation with the increase in passengers shrinks the fatality and accident rate because the sample is larger. The airlines are to the FAA as what wall street is to the SEC.
i think the dissent in this thread is unqualified. Society is completely over "net-benefit" solutions. Stop perscribing 20th century one size fits all solutions. How about free flouride tablets instead of dosing everyone. Then saying "we need public policy to govern insurance rates". If this arugment saw its maxima, it would be manditory euthansia after 65. Certainly would really drop insurance rates. Btw genetics are a massive factor in oral hygine requirements, probably something your not considering. Should everyone wear the same brand/make of shoes?
SUVs are not the problem. it's literally what the article said, mininums are too low. Most SUVs are family's traveling. You should look up the statistics for uninsured motorists in Florida, it's staggering. People simply will not follow the law, it's an enforcement problem. The sheer miles of roadways to police is extremely vast, it's very difficult to remove dangerous uninsured drivers. Hence why most people by big SUVs to protect themselves from collisions.
I the term bot is interesting, I think it cbelievean be expanded to any automata predictably responding in a certain fashion. Twitter "reply" accounts even if operated by humans but acting like bots should be considered bots. Posts that don't move the discussion along but just reaffirm in one direction or the other are just pure noise and useless. Discourse is broken or the human brain is, unsure which it is.
Government always serves the ruling class. The point of libertarianism is to eliminate the abuse of government so the capabilities of the individual can progress freely. Libertarian ideology assumes government to have a worse case scenario impact. Blissful ignorance of an over-watch is not worse case.
